A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for this year’s ATOMWA Conference: Framing the Future – New Stages & New Stories.

It was an inspiring day filled with thought-provoking keynotes from James Grandison (Perth Film Studios) and Dr Adam Morris (Filmmaker), hands-on creative workshops, local stalls, and meaningful conversations about the future of media, design, and drama education.

Big Shout out to ECU Mount Lawley for providing us with the venue and giving us a space to spark our creativity!

A huge shoutout to Hannah Moran from Warwick SHS for all she did in organising and running this event! It was a huge effort and we all appreciate it.
