Unplugged Sounds Louder
with Curro Piqueras Parra, Executive Creative Director at DUDE: London
We’re constantly bombarded with content and notifications of all sorts, all the time.
It is hard for brands to cut through. But disconnecting from the digital realm can be a shortcut to a deeper connection, where sounds and sensations become amplified and easier to remember. When the music is unplugged, you listen with more attention.

That’s why experiential marketing, OOH, and activations have emerged as the backbone of communication for many entertainment brands. Why is this happening, who is leading and how can we thrive in this new paradigm?

AI for Good
with Malik Afegbua, Filmmaker, Artist, and Designer
In January 2023, Malik Afegbua took the internet by storm, captivating global attention with his ‘The Elder Series.’ This collection featured AI-assisted depictions of seniors strutting the fashion runway, adorned in vibrant, stylish ensembles. Malik’s work not only garnered widespread praise for its positive portrayal of elderly individuals through AI, but it also ignited a fiery debate on the potential ramifications of artificial intelligence on the traditional creative process. His artwork challenged prevailing stereotypes surrounding the perception of older individuals in contemporary society. The World Health Organization heaped praise for his unique artwork by quoting him a major, positive contributor in the global effort by the WHO/UN’s Decade of Healthy Ageing in combating ageism.

In this talk Malik will show us his approach to creative work that integrates AI technology into the realm of arts.
