​RenderCon is back for 2026.

​​Join artists, creators, developers, and technologists for RenderCon 2026 - a two-day conference exploring the future of media, technology, and art happening on April 16th and 17th, at Nya Studios in Hollywood, California.

​Last year, RenderCon explored the frontiers of AI and creative compute. This year, we’re going deeper — and getting practical.

​RenderCon 2026 is focused on the last mile of AI in media production: where real-world workflows, control, consistency, and scalability still break down. This is where experiments either turn into production-ready systems — or stall out. Together, we’ll dig into what it actually takes to move AI from demos and prototypes into tools that work in real pipelines.

​Across two days of talks, workshops, and conversations, you’ll hear from leaders who are shipping real work, building at scale, and defining what’s usable today, not just what’s theoretically possible tomorrow. You’ll also have more opportunities to connect with the artists, studios, and technologists working at the edge of rendering, AI, and media production.

​What to expect at RenderCon 2026:

• ​Actionable Insights
  Sessions led by people delivering real projects — not just ideas.

• ​Production-Ready Workflows
  Hands-on workshops designed to influence how you actually work.

• ​Now vs. Next
  A clear look at what’s usable today and what’s coming soon.

• ​The Network
  Reconnect with the artists, studios, and builders shaping the future of rendering and creative compute.

​Attendees will have hands-on access to tech demos, complimentary swag, meals, snacks and drinks throughout the event.
