CINE GEAR EXPO LA

June 4-5, 2027

Thank you to the thousands of filmmakers, cinematographers, content creators, technicians, exhibitors, and industry professionals who joined us at Universal Studios for Cine Gear Expo LA 2026.

From groundbreaking technology demonstrations and inspiring seminars to networking opportunities and hands-on experiences, this year's event once again brought the filmmaking community together to celebrate the art and craft of visual storytelling.

We look forward to seeing you at future Cine Gear Expo events.

Where Storytelling Meets Magic

Building Connections. Inspiring Creativity.

Step onto the Universal Studios Lot, a place built for magic and home to some of the most iconic moments in film and television history. From Psycho to Back to the Future, from Colonial Street favorites like Desperate Housewives and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, to legendary classics like Frankenstein (1931) which is celebrating 95 years of cinematic history, this is where storytelling has shaped generations.

Now, as Cine Gear Expo celebrates 30 years of bringing the industry together, that legacy continues with you.

Cine Gear Expo LA puts you at the center of it all, where today’s creators stand on the same ground as the legends who came before them. Discover new tools, learn from working professionals, and connect with the people who will help bring your next story to life.
