Creative Intelligence Summit

Fri 11 Sep 2026, 11am

An industry day for the culture makers, artists, writers, designers and engineers shaping our world.

We kick off Creative Intelligence with a day of exploration into the world-changing innovations of creative entrepreneurs.

We hear from artists and thinkers working in diverse fields including beauty, quantum computing and venture capital for artist products, expanding out to explore planetary-scale systems and art where nature is the main protagonist.

Speakers include Sougwen Chung, Alex Estorick, Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg, Anab Jain, Xin Liu and K Allado-McDowell.

Join this shared space for the people shaping our tomorrow, and stick around for the evening with a takeover of music demos and installations from Peckham Digital and deep listening with Holly Herndon.

Creative Intelligence is commissioned and produced by the Southbank Centre. Curated with PACT – Planetary Art Culture Technology.

What you’ll get out of this day:

  • Connect with like-minded people
    Unite with fellow creative and tech industry professionals, share challenges and build organic collaborations with peers who refuse to look at technology, art and commerce in isolation.

  • See the latest of new creative tech
    Dive into our forward-thinking programming which maps the world-changing innovations of creative entrepreneurs.

  • Collaborate
    Get stuck in with hands-on, practical workshops and demos that encourage sensory exploration, creative thinking and vision.

  • Be inspired
