100+ Voices from the Creative Industries
Welcoming over 100 speakers — from experienced and renowned names to new voices — spanning film, robotics, technology, and advertising. More names to be announced shortly.
Our speaker programme brings together a diverse range of voices from across the creative industries and beyond. Each session is carefully curated to spark genuine conversation around the intersection of art, technology, and innovation. Whether you are an established practitioner or an emerging talent, the stage offers space for bold ideas and honest exchange. Speakers are invited not only for their expertise but for their willingness to challenge convention and explore what lies ahead. The result is a lineup that reflects the full spectrum of creative practice, from music and film to immersive digital experiences and cutting-edge research.
The conversations taking place on our stage are designed to move beyond surface-level trends and into the deeper forces shaping the creative landscape. Topics range from the adoption of emerging technologies to the evolution of audience engagement and the future of storytelling. Speakers draw on real-world experience, sharing what they have learnt from both success and disruption. Attendees can expect insights that are practical, thought-provoking, and grounded in the realities of working across disciplines. It is an opportunity to hear directly from those who are actively influencing developments on a global scale.
Networking is woven into the fabric of the event, with speakers making themselves available for informal conversation and connection. We believe that the best ideas often emerge in the spaces between scheduled talks, where thinkers, makers, and investors can meet without barriers. Our environment encourages genuine collaboration, whether you are a researcher exploring new patterns in data or a founder building the next generation of creative tools. Every interaction is an opportunity to find common ground, share perspectives, and discover potential collaborators who share your curiosity and drive.
This is more than a passive listening experience. Attendees are invited to engage directly with speakers through Q&A sessions, workshops, and intimate breakout discussions. We prioritise formats that allow for depth rather than breadth, ensuring that every voice in the room has a chance to contribute. The goal is to create a setting where knowledge flows in multiple directions, and where the audience plays an active role in shaping the conversation. By the end, participants leave not only with new insights but with a strengthened sense of community and shared purpose.
