About RenderCon
RenderCon 2026 brings together artists, studios, technologists, and infrastructure leaders to examine this question.
This is not a conference about hype, demos, or speculative futures. It's about the last mile: reliability, control, scale, and creative trust.
What to Expect
Across main stage conversations, artist panels, and hands-on side-stage sessions, RenderCon 2026 explores:
Preserving Creative Intent
How creative intent is preserved as pipelines become more complex, and what artists want versus what actually works in production.
Real Production Under Real Deadlines
How decentralized and hybrid compute models perform under real deadlines, and where rendering, simulation, and AI meaningfully intersect.
Photorealism, control, and the new cinematic pipeline—balancing speed, realism, and authorship in the age of AI.
The New Cinematic Pipeline
How advanced compute, rendering, and AI systems are being integrated into professional pipelines today—and what studios and artists actually need from tools and infrastructure.

Los Angeles International Airport (airport code: LAX) has many direct flights and flights with connections to and from destinations all over the world. We recommend starting with that. Alternatively, Hollywood Burbank Airport (airport code: BUR) is a regional airport that is a 20-minute drive away from the venue (could be longer, depending on traffic). Other regional airports include John Wayne Airport (airport code: SNA) in nearby Santa Ana and Long Beach Airport (airport code: LBG).
