The Educational Day of the VP Gathering will take place on April 14, 2026, at Breda University of Applied Sciences in the Netherlands; this edition, aligned with the theme “Leaders of the Craft”, is designed for educators and academic professionals in media, arts, games, entertainment, and programming who are shaping the next generation of Virtual Production talent.

The day will feature a live demonstration on our VP stage, focusing on the practical methods, workflows, and craft leadership skills that should be embedded in contemporary VP education.

Attendees will participate in panel discussions examining the realities of building and running VP facilities within higher education, exploring best practices, curriculum design, operational challenges, and the pedagogical approaches needed to develop future leaders of the craft.

Throughout the day, a VP Marketplace will be active providing educators with the opportunity to meet key vendors, discover new tools and solutions, and explore how industry technology can be effectively integrated into academic programs.
