RENDACON Animation Summit 2026

Africa’s animation industry is growing fast—but growth without structure, collaboration, and global access is not enough.

Across the continent, talented animators are becoming studio owners. Small teams are scaling into production companies. African stories are gaining attention. Yet many studios still struggle with sustainable business models, global production pipelines, international collaboration, and access to broadcasters, distributors, and decision-makers.

At the same time, the global animation industry is now valued at over $460 billion.

RENDACON Animation Summit 2026 exists to ensure that Africa is not just watching this growth—but actively shaping it, owning it, and profiting from it.

After five successful years as an animation film festival, RENDACON has evolved into a pan-African animation industry summit—focused on the business, sustainability, and global competitiveness of African animation.

This is not a fan convention. This is not a theory-based conference.

RENDACON is a high-impact, industry-focused summit designed for people who are serious about building studios, scaling careers, closing deals, and positioning African animation for the global market.

Africa has the talent. Africa has the stories.

What Africa needs is structure, access, and global alignment. RENDACON is where those pieces come together.

If you are ready to move beyond talent into sustainable growth, global relevance, and real industry access, then this is where you need to be.
