Infinity Festival 2026 Brings AI-Focused Entertainment Programming to LA
Infinity Festival will return to Los Angeles from November 12-15 for its ninth edition at the Audrey Irmas Pavilion. The event will examine AI's growing role across creative industries, with programming spanning animation, gaming, sports tech, filmmaking, music, virtual production, and live entertainment. Past guests have included the Russo Brothers, Brie Larson, and Jon Favreau, and sponsors include NVIDIA, HP, and Intel.
The ninth Infinity Festival will occupy Los Angeles’s Audrey Irmas Pavilion from Nov. 12–15. Its schedule includes talks, screenings, demonstrations, and exhibitions, with speakers still to be named. Organizers say AI will thread through many areas rather than form a separate track.
Previous editions drew figures such as the Russo Brothers, Brie Larson, Jon Favreau, Phil Lord, Chris Miller, and Jeff Bridges. NVIDIA, HP, and Intel are returning as presenting sponsors. The 2026 program will cover animation, filmmaking, music, gaming, sports technology, virtual production, and live entertainment.
As AI becomes embedded in entertainment production, events like Infinity Festival may shape how creators, technologists, and audiences understand its role. Filmmakers, animators, game developers, musicians, and sports-presentation teams could gain exposure to new workflows, while fans may see more immersive experiences. The gathering may also influence industry norms around collaboration and tool adoption, though its direct societal effects will depend on how these technologies are deployed and who gets access.
