AFM Day 3 wrapped with remarkable momentum. Attendees filled the Sessions and meetings were running nonstop across the Fairmont — a clear sign the Market is in full swing.

Tomorrow begins bright and early at 9 AM with another strong lineup of The AFM Sessions on the Santa Monica Stage Platinum & Plus and the Constellation Stage All Badges, except Day Badges unless noted. 

Only two days to go — so plan to spend some time checking out the Innovation Hub, LocationEXPO and the Filmmakers Lounge too. And with a chance of showers in the forecast, don’t forget your umbrella.

The AFM25 App gives you easy access to Exhibitor Locations, Campus Maps, Screenings Schedule, The AFM Sessions Schedule/Speakers as well as connecting with participants. (Day Badge Excluded)
