The dates for the Adobe Max 2021 conference have now been officially announced. From 26–28 October, you can attend the event for free to watch talks with Oscar-winning producers, creative directors and illustrators from around the world.
Every October Adobe puts on the world’s largest creativity conference, designed to inspire, connect creators and teach people how to bring ideas to life. However, when the pandemic hit, the event moved online and was made free for all.
