Creative Tech Week

Creative Tech Week is a unique opportunity to hear from artists and designers in positions of leadership across a series of keynotes, panels and Q&A sessions. This year we are highlighting creative experts in developing Code, Computation, Electronics, AI + Machine Learning, Extended Reality, Digital Creation and Digital Communication.

Expanding on the college’s first Creative Tech Week in 2021, this year’s program will focus on three critical areas for the field: Design Research, Advanced Digital Creation and Web3.
