The CTN Animation Expo takes place at The Burbank Marriott Convention Center Nov 18-20, 2011. Conveniently located in the animation capital of the world, Burbank CA,   this venue is within walking distance from the main entrance to the Burbank Airport and convenient to many local animation studios and attractions.

Once you experience the warm welcome and incomparable convenience and comfort of the Marriott Burbank Airport Hotel, we know you’ll return to the CTN Animation Expo year after year.
