The Signal Festival is expanding its ecosystem with an educational platform. Signal Forum is a place where the most interesting creative minds of Europe come together. It offers a unique opportunity for artists, designers, programmers, entrepreneurs, architects, academics, environmental experts, sociologists, filmmakers, performers, students, and anyone interested in co-creating a sustainable life for the 21st century and beyond. The conference is for anyone who is thinking about the future. Its goal is to connect, inspire, and educate both local and international audiences as part of the largest cultural event in the country.

Two days of lectures by the top Czech and international experts. Special workshops where, for example, you can learn how to write a futuristic musical using AI. A vast space for networking during 1:1 meetings with exceptional collaborators and partners from around the world. Meet Market, where companies and experts meet in person, looking to collaborate with artists and creative tech specialists. And whatever you don’t manage to catch during the day, you can make up for at the parties in the Swim club, where you’ll meet artists, speakers, performers, partners, and the Signal Festival team.

Signal Forum was born from the collaboration between the Bratislava Sensorium festival and the Prague Signal Festival. It will feature 15 internationally recognized speakers, including 11 renowned female experts, such as a NASA astrobiologist, the founder of Arts at CERN, a comedic programming duo, artists who lit up the Empire State Building with video mapping, and representatives from the Google Arts & Culture lab.

The conference themes connect creativity, technology, and sustainable innovation. From smart and green cities and progressive design, to artificial intelligence, human-computer interaction, parametric architecture, interactive media, augmented reality, sustainable living, service design, and public governance.

The curators of the conference are Irini Mirena Papadimitriou and Lucia Dubačová.

The event will be moderated by Pavlína Louženská.
