NEW TICKETING PROCEDURES
Historically members of AFI Digital Content Lab production teams attended the annual AFI Digital Content Festival free of charge. We wanted to let you know of a change in that policy. Tickets to the July 26 AFI Digital Content Festival are on sale now, and all attendees must be paid registrants. We hope you will join us for what many describe as their favorite industry event of the year.

Previous to July 2005, AFI DCL production teams all commenced in July and the AFI Digital Content Festival served as production training for those teams. This necessitated the attendance of all team members, and was the basis for complementary tickets. Since the AFI DCL began year-round production in July 2005, we host separate quarterly production kickoff events for our new teams. The AFI Digital Content Festival is now a unique event.
