Why Now

2026 is the breakthrough year for AI in media. What was experimental in 2024 is now in production. Studios are deploying AI workflows at scale, tools have matured beyond demos, and the economics of content creation are fundamentally shifting.

AI on the Lot brings together over 2,000 filmmakers, studio executives, founders, and investors who are actively building and implementing these systems. This is where practitioners share what's working in production—not speculative keynotes, but real workflows being used to ship work today.

SUBJECT
Request to attend AI on the Lot (May 27–28, Culver City)
Hi Manager Name, I'd like approval to attend AI on the Lot on May 27–28 in Culver City. It's the largest conference focused on how generative AI is being used in film and entertainment. The conference attracts the top filmmakers using AI in production, startups building the tools, and studios figuring out how to use them. AI on the Lot is the central gathering point for the people and companies shaping this space. If I go, I'll get a clear view of: • How AI is actually being used in production (video, VFX, writing, post) • The key tools and companies in the space • What's real vs hype right now AI media is moving really quickly. Being at AI on the Lot in person is the fastest way to understand it and bring back useful knowledge and connections. Would the company be open to covering my ticket? I'll share a short recap with the team on what's worth using and where this is heading.
