Enter insatiablyCurious: our dream realized—a gathering place for the most inquisitive souls, from directors to animators, motion graphics wizards to abstract artists. Here, the full spectrum of art and design, from abstract expressionism to VFX, converges.
We’ve crafted a sanctuary where curious minds can meet, forge deep bonds, share insights, and build upon each other’s visions. The result? A surge of inspiration and rejuvenation that will leave everyone buzzing with excitement.
Since motion 2006, we’ve playfully dubbed our gathering an “unconference.” With insatiablyCurious, we’re taking this concept to the next level: no rigid schedules, and most importantly, no egos. We’ve leveled the playing field, leaving behind the traditional speaker/audience dynamics.
Throughout the experience, we’ll spark conversations with special guests. While many are industry heavyweights, these dialogues are designed to be interactive. Forget the typical conference setup—a speaker on a pedestal, an audience passively absorbing—and embrace a space where everyone is invited to engage and participate. Bios and lists of accolades can wait. At insatiablyCurious, we enthusiastically encourage everyone to bring their insatiable curiosity and dive in.
InsatiablyCurious is our chance to connect (and reconnect!) with some of the most brilliant minds on the planet, and we’re bouncing off the walls with excitement (figuratively speaking, of course).
See you in October!

The ideal place for an unconference like no other – is a city like no other!
Santa Fe, the “City Different,” is where curiosity blossoms. This unique city bursts with a blend of cultures, stunning architecture, and art. As the nation’s oldest capital, Santa Fe boasts authentic adobe buildings, over 200 art galleries, diverse art markets, the legendary Santa Fe Opera, 400+ restaurants, and 20 museums. A true symphony of stimuli for the most insatiably curious minds.
Nestled under the wide-open skies of Santa Fe, you’ll immerse yourself in a whirlpool of new ideas, engage in stimulating debates, and forge deep, lasting connections.
We’re thrilled to host our inaugural insatiablyCurious experience in the captivating Jean Cocteau Cinema, owned by the one and only George R.R. Martin!
You’re an artist, right? So you know the value of your craft. How many times have you been asked to work for peanuts? To whip up a poster for a gig, pro bono, while the printer pockets the cash? Is your time not precious?
Our event? It’s a labor of love. A symphony of effort, passion, and hard-earned dollars. We don’t have fancy sponsors or grant money – just the raw power of our ticket sales.
The short answer, straight from the heart? No, we don’t offer discounts.
Instead, we’ve dreamt up a brilliant plan to keep the magic flowing and the tickets within reach of everyone. Lend a hand to spread the word, and your efforts will be handsomely rewarded. It’s a win-win! You’ve got this!

Mark Coleran, the legendary FUI designer who inspired so many of us in the motion community, passed away this June.
When Mark heard we were bringing motion back, he was extremely supportive. And he was slated to be one of our special guests.
Mark’s legacy is woven from the threads of his brilliant mind, his creative genius, and the profound impact he had on the world. He was an inspiration to many, leaving an indelible mark on the motion picture industry through his innovative work as a FUI designer. His contributions to iconic films like The Bourne Ultimatum, Mission Impossible, and Westworld transcended mere entertainment, shaping the cinematic landscape through brilliant motion design, leaving a lasting impression on audiences worldwide.
This year, we’ll raise a glass to Mark Coleran, as we share stories and memories while soaking in stunning views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains at sunset.
