The pandemic continues to give festival organizers headaches, but it’s offering them opportunities, too. In theory, going virtual lets them draw a wider pool of guests — and attendees.

Here are the details of the two events:
Lightbox Expo
What? The second edition of the young Californian convention, which celebrates creators working across animation, live action, video games, and illustration. Many features from last year’s event have been ported over to the virtual platform, including an interactive “artist alley” that lets users sample the work of participating artists (see video below).
