This year's programme focuses on how Artificial Intelligence is affecting the creative industries, as well as how artists are responding to the climate emergency, and the new digital counterculture.

Two forums - the Art, Science, and Technology Forum (in collaboration with HacTe) and the Music Innovation Forum - headline a set of exclusive activities (only for Delegate pass-holders, on sale here) from 10am to 3pm on Thursday and Friday.
