BEYOND Conference
BEYOND’s 7th annual conference will take place at MediaCity, Salford, between November 25-27th 2024.
BEYOND is a conference where thinkers, makers, investors and researchers across the creative industries come together to explore the relationship between creative research and business innovation. Now in its 7th year, it has proved successful in showcasing individuals, teams and organisations powering ground-breaking projects and creative clusters both in the UK and globally. It draws positive feedback from its delegates and attracts a high number of regular visitors from around the world.
Previous events have been held in London and Cardiff, hosting a wealth of leading industry speakers, including actor and activist Michael Sheen and ABBA Voyage producer, Svana Gisla. The conference features the Immersive Futures Lab, giving innovators a platform to put exciting XR prototypes, many featuring the latest VR and AR technologies, into the hands of new audiences and tell the stories behind their work.
