Beyond is the Global Summit for Creative Industries and is the world's most inspiring, influential, and progressive forum for creative thought leadership and application. The summit is envisioned as a "Biennale meets World Economic Forum" event that will deliver rare insights on the opportunities facing the Creative Industries today.
The summit, which will take place at The Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel, seeks to connect leading practitioners across the arts, design and media sectors for an interactive debate on best practices, trends and challenges. Simultaneously it is aimed at bringing together young and established practitioners on a common platform to facilitate exchange and networking.
This year Beyond is back with a explosive lineup including some of the world's foremost creative icons and business leaders under the banner "Rethinking Design & Entertainment." The list includes hospitality designer; Adam Tihany, urban landscape guru; Benjamin Wood, second life's first avatar; Cory Ondrejka, modern style architect; Duangrit Bunnag, high priestess of fashion; Joanne Ooi, Lego head honcho; Jorgen Vig Knudstorp;, lensman extraordinaire; Mike Yamashita, irreverent advertising icon; Neil French, pasha of design & style; Sheik Majed Al Sabah and media and entertainment maverick; Tyler Brule.
The event seeks to ignite thought provoking debates to push the boundaries of convention and knowledge in each respective field. Participants will have the opportunity to converse face to face with leading international speakers and established local practitioners across the arts, design and media sectors. The summit's scope also extends to bringing creative ideas to commercial platforms, by connecting creative practitioners to deal-makers and sources of finance.
The two-day conference couples plenary keynote addresses with discussion panels and breakout sessions combining broad-level issues with specialist topics. Content will be structured and designed across key creative industry pillars including but not limited to, architecture, film, fashion, product / industrial design, communication design, technology, media and entertainment.
