The Independent Film Exhibition Conference is the only film industry event dedicated to advancing the reach, impact, and sustainability of film festivals and independent exhibitors. Bringing together all aspects of the festival and independent exhibitor sector - operations, programming, education, development, distributors, vendors, community engagement, and more - IND/EX is a critical hub of network and relationship building, industry growth, market development, and cultural advancement.
Taking place in Downtown Chicago at the Chicago Cultural Center and the Gene Siskel Film Center, the conference will provide a mix of educational programs, skill-based workshops, keynote speakers, a vendor exhibit, and crowd favorites like Art House Tales, Trailer Wars, and Meet the Distributors. Plus fun extracurriculars like field trips, screenings, and affinity group meet-ups!
