The panel will focus on a discussion of the technical and creative process that brought "Avatar," arguably one of the most game-changing films of all time, to the screen.

Kristin Petrovich-Kennedy, President of Createasphere comments, "To have a number of the key contributors from “Avatar” with us, is an honor. After seeing this amazing accomplishment, I believe that anyone who has a vested interest in a creative or technical career in content creation will be extremely motivated to hear these experts and artists talk about their experiences."
