Join us for a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the final season of Stranger Things.

We’re excited to host artists behind the show’s visual effects and visualization work as they discuss how Season 5 expanded the scale, complexity, and intensity of Hawkins like never before. From early visualization and planning to final on-screen shots, our panel shares how major sequences were developed, refined, and brought to life for one of television’s most recognizable series.

This event offers an exclusive look at the workflows, tools, and techniques involved in building the final season’s big moments.
