ELIA Leadership Symposium Hong Kong 2023

19 Oct 2023

The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts (HKAPA) conducted the ELIA Leadership Symposium 2023 satellite session on October 19. At this event, titled “Charting The Intersection of Creativity, Technology, and Skills for Tomorrow”, artistic leaders, practitioners, and students will delve into the dynamic landscape of the creative and cultural industries, where AR, VR, MR, and Generative AI are no longer tools or trends, but the game changers of our era. As the world is becoming increasingly homogenous due to digital globalisation, what should Asian Creative and Cultural Industries do to gain a bigger audience base and a unique position on the global stage?  This is an opportunity to reimagine the roles of educators, envision the future of performing arts, and actively participate in shaping the world where technology is an extension of our creativity. Your contribution will help to co-construct the future of the creative and cultural industries here in Asia.  Join us as we navigate this profound change, preparing the next generation of artists for the stage of tomorrow.
