In Motion London 2025 is your place to recharge, connect, and get creatively fired up.

✨ Hop on the ride and join our Referral Program.

Proudly supported by our principal sponsor: Procreate.

 

After two powerful editions, In Motion returns to London in 2025 as the creative meet-up of the year, right at the heart of European animation and media production.

This edition is all about trailblazing artists in animation, motion design, and liquid cutting-edge creativity. Forward-thinkers, boundary-pushers, media-benders. Expect new trends, innovative artworks, and exciting technologies – all the things that spark your artistry and INSPIRE!

Alongside an inspiring line-up of artist talks, you’ll find panel discussions, interviews, live demos, an Industry Garden, networking & drinks, and a brand-new Playgrounds App to connect with fellow attendees throughout the festival.
