Industry Day is our dedicated day of free industry programming!
As part of Inside Out’s commitment to career development, we aim to ensure that professionals at all stages—particularly aspiring and emerging creators—have barrier-free access to high-level events often restricted to the public.
Industry Day highlights the most relevant conversations, trends, and interests currently shaping the film landscape. Each year, we host a curated selection of sessions shaped by feedback from our community, including:
- Panel Discussions featuring industry leaders.
- In-Conversation Sessions with acclaimed filmmakers.
- Case Studies on successful queer cinema.
- Networking Opportunities for attendees to connect and collaborate during our annual Industry Mixer.
Please note: You do not need industry accreditation to attend Industry Day. However, accredited pass holders will receive early access to tickets and priority line access to all in-person industry events. The 2026 Industry Day schedule, and other Industry events, will be announced on our Festival Schedule website on April 30th, 2026.
