What is RAINBOW SPOTLIGHT?

Rainbow Conference was London's post-SIGGRAPH wrap-up event, bringing together top projects, studios and talent from across the industry. Rainbow Conference united students, professionals and enthusiasts across VFX, animation and games, and helped strengthen London's CGI community into what it is today.

This year, we're evolving. Rather than a single large event, Rainbow Spotlight brings that same spirit into a more focused, regular format — three standalone evenings across September, October and November 2026, each hosted by a different studio at the heart of London's CG scene.

The same commitment to inclusivity and community remains: all events are free to attend, the programme continues to mix industry insight with emerging talent, and the space is open to everyone — from seasoned professionals to students just starting out.

Key Features

  • Free for all! We are a non-profit charity and we strongly believe in the free sharing of knowledge and ideas. Our mission is to offer industry professionals, students and enthusiasts a platform to network, collaborate, and grow in an inspiring environment.

  • High Attendance and Impact: Our previous conference - Rainbow Conference 2025 was a resounding success, drawing more than 300 attendees over two exciting days at the Barbican Centre. We brought together industry professionals, students, and enthusiasts, creating a vibrant atmosphere for learning and connection. 

  • Top Studio Talent: Over the course of the two days we featured 2 workshops and 10 talks, panel, feedback sessions, ranging from making-of presentations on some of the year's biggest films to boutique companies projects.

  • Multiple Sponsor Opportunities: There are many ways designed to help your organization stand out and connect with the industry's best talent, professionals, and students. We’ve outlined several ways to spotlight your contribution and involvement with the event, tailored to your level of support.
