AI on the Lot is the largest conference about generative AI’s impact on the film & media industry. The conference draws professionals from Hollywood studios, AI startups, and major tech companies as well as artists and entrepreneurs.  The conference is focused on being the best place for professionals in the AI film space to meet each other and start meaningful collaborations. Dozens of AI studios and AI startups began at AI on the Lot as "Hi, nice to meet you". These connections are our conference's most significant metric each year. The conference convenes in Los Angeles every May for multiple days of panel discussions, in-depth workshops, networking parties, and a constellation of satellite events by major sponsors. 

AI on the Lot began in 2023 as a 650-person conference around the rapidly emerging space of AI filmmaking. In the years since, it's expanded in size and scope, now reaching over 1200 people with attendees from every major film studio. AI on the Lot has partnered with amazing sponsors, from major tech companies such as Nvidia, Adobe, & Bytdance to leading AI startups such as Moonvalley, Hedra, & TopazLabs to legendary media companies such as Paramount, Variety VIP+, and Rising Sun Pictures. Each year our flagship conference convenes in Los Angeles in May.
