CoMotion is created by students for students, but any attendee will find inspiration in our speakers and panel discussions. Students can participate and demonstrate their worth through these portfolio reviews, student showcase, and contest while gaining new insight from the panels. The most important aspect is to give students the opportunity to interact and portray themselves as creative professionals but CoMotion is open to all majors and walks of life. CoMotion serves to bring together students, professors, and industry talent in one environment.
