If you have a Market Pass, elatlas.mx is the platform where you can showcase your company and express your interests and priorities for business meetings during the festival. That’s why it’s important to create or update your company profile with the most recent reel you have or information about your latest work and, most importantly, answer the questions about the type of meetings you're looking for in the market. This will help the matchmaking team schedule your first five pre-arranged meetings.
Here we explain how to enter your company’s basic information, as well as your Market Preferences, which is the information used to schedule meetings.
You must create your company profile or be accepted into one in order to enable your market meeting preferences. If you or someone else in your company has already created a profile for your studio, you don’t need to create a new one. Check which case applies to you:
a. If you created the company profile, just go to elatlas.mx and log in with the same email and password associated with your Market Pass. In the top-right menu, select “My Company” to edit or update the profile.
b. If someone else created your company’s profile, when you log into elatlas.mx and go to “My Company” in the top-right menu for the first time, it will ask you to select the studio you belong to. Remember that the person who created the company profile must validate you and assign you a role for the market (even if they’re not attending the festival). They need to log in to elatlas.mx, select “My Company,” then go to the “Members” tab at the top of the page. There they’ll see pending member requests. Ask them to locate your name, change your status from Inactive to Active, and assign you the Administrator role so you can update your company’s page.
c. If your company has never been registered on El Atlas, log in to elatlas.mx with the same email and password linked to your Market Pass, and in the top-right menu select the option to create your company profile (“My Company”). If the system first asks you to choose a company to join, you’ll also find an option to create a new profile. It will then guide you step-by-step to upload your logo, your studio reel, or a sample of your most recent work.
* *Notes: *
* Artists also have the option to create their own portfolios, but remember that the Market features are enabled only through a company profile.
* If you don’t have a studio and are attending the market as a freelance artist, create a company profile using a personal brand or your signature as the logo. You can find examples in the Participants/Delegates section.
* If more than one delegate from your company is attending the market, only one person needs to create the company profile. Once it’s set up, others can request to join it, as explained above in point 2.
* If your company appears more than once (due to it being registered in the past by different people or accounts), please write to info@pixelatl.com to merge or remove duplicate profiles.
Some executives or delegates request meetings with studios of a certain size (based on number of artists or annual revenue) or that specialize in certain techniques or software. That’s why you need to upload your studio’s information under the “Technical Sheet” option, which you’ll find in the dropdown menu at the top-right of elatlas.mx. This includes a few simple questions that only guests and Market Pass holders can view—except for one field that is only visible to the matchmaking team.
IMPORTANT: Only the person who created the company profile can upload or update this information. If that’s not you and the person won’t be attending the festival, write to info@pixelatl.com to request admin access.
Once your company profile and studio information are complete, the “Market Preferences” option will be enabled in the menu. There you can specify the type of meetings you’re seeking and your goals for participating in the market, which helps us organize the meeting schedules.
Both forms are very simple and take just a few minutes to complete.
If two or more delegates from the same company are attending, this second form (Market Preferences) must be filled out by each person individually so we can assign separate pre-scheduled meetings.
IMPORTANT: Once you submit your market preferences, you won’t be able to modify them.
The Market Pass allows you to organize portfolio reviews with artists and attendees at the festival. If you’re interested in reviewing portfolios or recruiting talent during the event, just select “Portfolio Review” in the top-right menu (this is only available to those with Administrator or Recruiter roles—but as an Admin, you can assign others this role in the “Members” section using the “Add” or "Agregar" button).
To publish portfolio review opportunities, you or the person in charge should follow these steps:
a. Post the type of portfolios you want to review (e.g., concept artists, 2D animators, writers, producers, storyboard artists, etc.). You can publish one or multiple profiles, but it’s helpful to add a brief description of what you're looking for.
b. Once the profile is posted, go back to the main Portafolios Review page from the menu and add the time slots when you’ll be available during the Festival.
c. Festival attendees will be able to view the posted profiles and request a meeting. You (or your designated reviewer) will be able to view their portfolios online and schedule meetings with those who best match your criteria—or easily decline the request of the others.
You can find more detailed instructions for the portfolio review process here, or download a visual guide with these steps here.
