Creative Educators Network Brings Annual Conference Back to Burbank

The Creative Educators Network decided to bring its annual conference back to Burbank for 2026. This is the organization's flagship event, and choosing Burbank makes sense given the city's deep roots in animation and entertainment production. Titmouse, the studio hosting the event, knows this world inside and out.

Rainn Wilson tops the speaker lineup. You know him from The Office, but he's actually been pretty active in education and creative spaces behind the scenes. He'll be giving the keynote, which typically means something about where creative education is headed or how the industry's shifting. The conference draws educators, studio professionals, and anyone thinking seriously about teaching creative skills.

The whole thing kicks off on Wednesday. If you work in education or animation, or you're trying to figure out how to teach creative work at scale, this is where people in that world actually show up. Titmouse hosting it means they're not just renting a venue—they're invested in what happens there.
