SWOT Analysis task:

Event: Creative Talent Network (CTN) Animation Expo

Strengths (What are they good at? What makes them good?): OFFERS A LOT OF THINGS..

• Very broad appeal - targeted to empower professionals, educate students and entertain the general public
• A resource for education, employment, inspiration, business opportunities and most of all FUN!
• Brings together top professionals from both the traditional and digital worlds of animation.
• "Making meaningful connections that propel talent into positions within the animation, games and surrounding industries" (inc. illustration)
• Opportunity to showcase and sell your work
• Live Demonstrations
• Networking Receptions
• Master Workshops
• Panel Discussions/Artist interviews
• Business Symposiums
• Recruiting and Professional Exhibits offered throughout the Expo 
• as well as the signature One-On-One Personal Consultations (critiques) with creative professionals from top studios and educational institutions both local and international. 
• Demographic that includes both students and professionals

Weaknesses (What are they bad at? What makes them bad?):

• USA-located only - people would have to fly over if they want to be involved
• Price of tickets - quite expensive to attend ($65 - 3 day pass) plus transportation if not from the US (but I guess it's worth it if you get a job/internship/exposure from it).

Opportunities (What don't they do?):

• The event is based in Burbank, California because it is where all the big studios are but they could also run event in different countries - to widen opportunity/participation, which I think would benefit all - students, artists, studio executives and industry leaders.

Threats (What could go wrong? Why could they fail?):

•
