The international motion design community is once again preparing to converge on the French capital as Motion Plus Design announces its highly anticipated return to Paris. Scheduled for Saturday, November 14, 2026, the prestigious event will take place at the historic Le Grand Rex, bringing together some of the most inspiring and influential artists working within the global motion design and creative industries. Known for spotlighting cutting-edge visual storytelling, technical innovation, and avant-garde artistry, the conference serves as a major hub for professionals, students, and enthusiasts eager to explore the evolving boundaries of digital media.
As in previous years, the 2026 program features a carefully curated lineup of speakers representing top-tier studios, independent creators, and industry giants. Attendees can expect deep dives into creative workflows, aesthetic philosophies, and the rapidly shifting technological landscapes that continue to redefine visual communication. The daytime conference runs from 11:30 AM to 7:30 PM, offering a full day of presentations, case studies, and creative insights from leading figures in the field.
To accommodate an international audience, all main stage talks will be conducted in English. To ensure that language is no barrier to participation, the organizers have arranged for live translation services to be delivered directly to attendees via Zoom. Organizers note that participants wishing to access the live translation will simply need to bring their own smartphone and a pair of headphones. Crucially, attendees do not need to download or install the Zoom application on their mobile devices, nor do they need to create a Zoom account, streamlining the on-site experience for everyone in the venue.
Following the conclusion of the main daytime conference, the programming will continue with a specialized segment dedicated to one of the most transformative shifts in modern digital art. From 8:30 PM until midnight, Le Grand Rex will host the dedicated AI Evening talks. This late-session program will explore the intersection of artificial intelligence and motion design, examining how generative tools, machine learning, and automated processes are currently influencing professional pipelines and creative exploration within the industry.
Tickets for the 2026 event are currently available for purchase through Eventbrite, with organizers anticipating a strong turnout given the high profile of this year’s participants. Industry professionals, digital artists, and creative directors looking to secure their place at Le Grand Rex can book their admission online.
