The Creative Educators Network, previously known as the AME Institute, is set to host its annual Burbank Institute from September 23 to 25, 2026, in Burbank, California. This year's event features Rainn Wilson, an Emmy-nominated actor and advocate for creative expression, as the keynote speaker. The conference aims to bridge the gap between education and the creative workforce, offering immersive experiences for educators. Attendees will participate in hands-on training sessions with industry-standard tools such as Adobe and Unreal Engine, and enjoy networking opportunities with industry leaders. The Welcome Reception will be held at Titmouse, a renowned animation studio behind popular shows like Big Mouth and Star Trek: Lower Decks. The rebranding to Creative Educators Network reflects a commitment to connecting a growing community of creative educators. Registration is now open for those looking to enhance their skills and inspire the next generation of creative professionals.
