ICE - The 3D Environment Conference:
Conference Vision
FOCUS
ICE is a conference dedicated to the disciplines encompassing all creative processes around 3D environments, from concept and design to final result. It covers all industries: Entertainment, Advertisement, Training & Simulation, GIS, AEC/BIM, and others.
The key focus is on the art & the artists - the people who make it all happen.
AUDIENCE
The event targets everybody who is passionate about working directly or indirectly on fictional or reality-based ‘3D worlds’.
TOPICS & WHAT TO EXPECT
The scope of topics or tracks shall range widely, from concept art, to design, to layouts of game levels, to technical workflows, research, client relations or project budgeting, but also address related topics such as entering the industries, job security, work-life balance or contract negotiations.
With the introduction of tracks, we now have the opportunity to dive deeper into specific topics and explore them further, with multiple presentations. Still, the field of 3D environments is vast, so we won't be able to dive too deep into technicalities for now. This may change, with the growing conference.
This chosen formatting is great for inspiring experienced professionals beyond the borders of their industries, as well as providing a great insight for less experienced people to gain valuable insights, which may influence their career choices.
