BEYOND - where creativity meets R&D
A three day conference in October 2022, where thinkers, makers, investors and researchers across the creative industries come together to explore the relationship between creative research and business innovation. The 5th annual BEYOND conference will take place at the Cardiff City Hall, with additional activities at the Museum of Wales and online.
BEYOND is a unique, annual gathering of current and future innovators focused on Research and Development across the Creative Industries, bringing together world-leading researchers, makers, investors, business leaders, and thinkers.
In its fifth year, BEYOND 2022 is heading to Cardiff. This year’s conference will take place right in the heart of the Welsh capital, for delegates to enjoy a range of additional spaces for showcasing, dinners and networking at the iconic Cardiff City Hall and National Museum Cardiff. The conference offers a global audience access to a schedule of expert speakers, keynotes, panel discussions, think pieces and provocations, as well as Q&As and networking opportunities.
A showcase of industry leading projects and a poster exhibition also offers attendees access to cutting-edge work and researchers – before, during and after the conference.
BEYOND 2022 features a unique and inspirational line up of expert speakers from across the creative industries, from renowned and established veterans to rising talent. It’s a pleasure to welcome BAFTA nominated Jason Mohammad as this year’s conference MC. He is joined by a legendary line up featuring Sophie Howe (Future Generations Commissioner for Wales), actor Michael Sheen, futurist world-builder Alex McDowell, Claire Doherty (GALWAD) and Shirish Kulkarni (Journalist and researcher).
