In the past 3 years In Motion London has distinguished itself as the place where creatives come together to celebrate motion design and animation. The absolute creative meet-up of the year!
For our 2026 edition we want to take things further: more inspiration, more meaningful connections and more opportunities of working together towards a brighter future for the creative industries.
At Playgrounds, we’ve always stood for the maker. For the creative process. For craft, hands-on work and the people who pour themselves into what they create. Come and discover new voices, latest trends and everything that sets inspiration in motion. But also, come share your thoughts, find your people and leave with your creative batteries recharged.
