In these unsettling times, people have come to adjust to a ‘new normal’. Despite the challenges, live events are making a comeback through the internet and social media. ICON MANILA is no different and this year’s lineups of speakers are just as dynamic than ever.
ICON MANILA is an annual event for creative enthusiasts in the entertainment design industry. This event gathers the creative minds in animation, film, game, illustration, and visual effects.
