DreamWorks Animation CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg will be honored with the 3D Visionary Award at the 4th annual 3D Entertainment Summit, Sept. 20-22 in Hollywood, Calif.

Katzenberg will address the conference via taped remarks Sept. 21 at 11:30 a.m. Visual effects veteran Phil McNally, who has collaborated with DreamWorks on Puss in Boots, Shrek Forever After, Kung Fu Panda 2 and How to Train Your Dragon, will accept the award on Katzenberg’s behalf.

“No one is more knowledgeable or passionate about the global possibilities of 3D entertainment than Jeffrey,” said Bob Dowling, the Summit’s co-producer. "As we mark our fourth anniversary with a major expansion of our programming and sponsor list, it seems a most propitious time to honor 3D’s greatest advocate and to thank him for being such a huge supporter of the Summit since its inception.”

Extensive footage from the new DreamWorks Animation 3D film Puss in Boots will be shown at the event.
