Additional information for invited speakers
Accreditation:
All invited speakers must be accredited for the Stuttgart International Festival of Animated Film. Accreditation will allow access to all events of the festival beyond the symposium and is available here:
www.itfs.de/en/home/professionals/accreditation/
As most invited speakers will either be students or lecturers at an academic institution, the reduced accreditation fee for academy members of 47,- Euros will apply. But you will need to provide evidence of your status as either student or lecturer, when you are collecting your accreditation at the ITFS information desk in the Gloria Passage, Königstraße 22.
If you have further questions concerning accreditation, please contact:
