About EditFest
EditFest Global expands upon ACE’s popular EditFest events. Launched in Los Angeles in 2008, and expanding to New York in 2009 and London in 2013, EditFest puts editors on stage and in lively discussion with attendees.
In response to the circumstances of 2020 and fueled by audience demand, ACE developed EditFest Global, where editors and attendees can continue to connect virtually. While the site will have new experiences and content year-round, we are launching with a kick-off, 2-day event on August 29 & 30.
