- Intentional Virality (Friday, June 27, 12:30pm in Room 209AB): This panel explores how some creators and brands manage to continually create content that people share until 10 or even hundreds of millions of people have watched?

- Special Effects: How and Why (Friday, June 28, 3:30pm in Room 202AB): Experts will discuss why special effects aren’t so special anymore. With the right tools, teenagers in their bedrooms are creating better effects than whole teams could just a few years ago. But that means it’s even harder to differentiate yourself. What’s next in effects, and what opportunities are available to those who have the skills. Moderated by CDS Director of Network Development John Carle. Panelists include Pueringer and Gorski of Corridor Digital, Zach King of FinalCutKing, Andrew McMurry of AndrewMFilms, and Clinton Jones of Pwnisher.
