MO:DE Festival 2026: Where Motion Design Meets the Future
Publication date:
If you've ever watched a brand identity come alive, felt pulled into an immersive digital world, or wondered how moving image is reshaping the way we communicate, MO:DE Festival is your moment.
Returning to Ravensbourne University London on 18–19 June 2026, MO:DE brings together some of the most exciting voices in motion design, animation and creative technology for two days of talks, hands-on workshops and genuine human connection. This is a living, breathing creative exchange and you're invited!
This year's line-up is genuinely impressive. Studios and practitioners including Buck, Optical Arts, Cavalry, Zunc Studio and many more will be taking the stage, sharing not just polished showreels but real insight into process, experimentation and where the discipline is heading next.
Expect conversations about motion at Ravensbourne’s Walker space venue, where the cultural responsibility designers carry in a fast-moving technological landscape, and the tools reshaping what's possible.
What makes MO:DE special is its atmosphere. Creative directors of leading studios mingle with students, freelancers sit alongside educators, and the whole event feels collaborative rather than competitive. Past attendees describe it as the kind of event where a single conversation can shift the direction of your career. As Ravensbourne alumna and MO:DE facilitator Savannah-Wells Wiegand puts it:
Savannah-Wells quote
Reconnecting with fellow graduates, meeting new people from the industry, and hearing inspiring talks throughout the festival made the experience even more meaningful.”
With over 600 people expected across the two days, the energy will be electric, yet the format will remain intimate enough to allow for genuine connection.MO:DE was founded right here at Ravensbourne, built on the belief that education and industry are stronger together. That spirit runs through everything: the programming, the workshops, the people in the room.
Whether you're deep into your studies, about to graduate, or simply hungry to see where motion design is going, this is where you need to be.
