LIVE PIXEL People
WHO ARE WE
Pixel makers are the people who put images into physical space: the media server programmers, screens producers, content designers, and systems engineers behind live events, installations, and virtual production. Our conference gathers them in one room to talk shop, share practice, and show how the work gets done.

About
A Conference for
Pixel Makers
Creative and engineering, virtual production and permanent install, arena and proscenium. This is where we share what we know.
01
HONEST TALK, ON THE RECORD
Speakers walk through real projects, including the parts that broke. The workaround, the fix, the thing they would never do again, the lesson they use everywhere.
02
SMALL ON PURPOSE
A few hundred people in one building. By day 2 you've stopped introducing yourself and started comparing notes. We could grow this. We would rather you experience close community.
03
A CONFERENCE & AN ORGANIZATION
A few days together is where the bonds form and knowledge is shared. You carry both back into the work and to the extended professional community.

WHAT TO EXPECT
Conference Highlights
Attendees tell us this is the rare room where the guard comes down. Same industry, same problems, same delight in them. Here's what they say.
Creative Talks
We design for environments, not rectangles. Our creative sessions unpack designer workflows for spatial video configurations.
Technical Talks
Image processing and signal delivery at arena scale. We present technologists engineering systems at the frontier of video display.
Production Talks
Communication is a production tool. Clarity is a science. Our production sessions show how to turn ambitious designs into finished shows.
Sponsors
Mission believers
Our sponsors understand how particular this corner of the industry is, and that a thriving community makes everyone's work better, theirs included.

Two days of sessions across three tracks, plus a workshop day and evening gatherings. Speakers walk through real projects, including what broke and how they fixed it. No victory laps, no product pitches.
HOW ARE THE SESSIONS STRUCTURED?
Sessions run 40 minutes with 10 minutes for questions. Three tracks run at once, so you build your own path through the weekend. Lunch and evenings stay open for the conversations that brought you.

Yes. Sessions are recorded and streamed unless a speaker asks otherwise, and recordings go up on our YouTube channel afterward. Livestream tickets will be available for anyone who can't travel to London.
CAN I PROPOSE A SESSION?
Yes. Our call for sessions is open now. We want real projects, including the parts that went sideways. You don't need to be a known name or a practiced speaker.

Tickets open August 5th. This is a small conference by design, roughly 280 people in one building, and past events have sold out. Plan ahead. Don't count on buying at the door.

Yes. Volunteers keep the conference running, and helping is one of the fastest ways to meet everyone in the room, get to know the community, and put something into what frame:work is building. Shifts come with a ticket. Email hello@framework.video.
