In a move to broaden industry membership, Association of Film Commissioners International (AFCI) has for the first time invited all screen sector professionals to attend next month’s annual conference. AFCI Week 2024 runs August 25-28 at UCLA’s Meyer & Renee Luskin Conference Center in Los Angeles.
AFCI Week is a multi-day conference crafted to foster unparalleled industry connections and lead generation, facilitate professional growth, and inspire collaboration between multiple levels of the production community, including film commissioners, government agencies, production and studio executives, independent producers, and location managers.
Attendees are invited to participate in a program that not only encompasses educational sessions, keynote presentations, and panels focusing on significant advancements in the production sector but also includes industry receptions. AFCI Members are encouraged to arrive early to attend the Locations Managers Guild International Awards (LMGI) Show on Saturday, August 24.
AFCI’s inaugural Film Industry Challenge workshop will see global film commissioners and industry professionals discuss disruption scenarios such as AI, technology, location usage, workforce development, and community-government collaboration.
AFCI Week 2024 speakers include executives from Disney, Annapurna, Warner Bros. Discovery, Sony Pictures Television, Amazon, Blumhouse, Paramount Studios, Fox, Lionsgate Studios, Entertainment Partners and Olsberg-SPI.
