The SATIS+, the regional edition of the renowned audiovisual trade show, returns to Montpellier on July 1 and 2, 2026. Following the success of its first edition, the event is consolidating with an expanded two-day format, offering more space for exhibitors, demonstrations, workshops, and networking. Aimed at producers, technicians, creators, and platforms, the program addresses efficiency in series, the fusion between the set and the cloud, and the impact of AI and open source in animation.
The cloud and the set join hands in the new production workflow ☁️
One of the key lines of SATIS+ 2026 is the disappearance of boundaries between the film set and the cloud. Technical sessions explore how cloud infrastructure allows for real-time editing, color grading, and asset management, reducing transportation and physical storage costs. Practical cases of open source platforms that facilitate remote collaboration will be presented, as well as artificial intelligence tools applied to pre-production and rendering. The goal is to offer professionals a clear overview of the technologies that are already redefining the workflow.
AI won't take your job, but maybe your coffee ☕
The program dedicates a space to artificial intelligence and its impact on animation, with the promise that no, you won't be replaced by an algorithm. However, you might have to compete with a machine that generates backgrounds in seconds while you're still adjusting your coffee cup on your desk. Speakers promise to demonstrate that AI is a tool, not an enemy, although some attendees suspect that, at this rate, the next storyboard will be done by a plugin before you finish your first bite of the break-time croissant.
