• Theoretical Workshop: As a producer, you have the chance to propose a topic of interest that addresses a challenge faced by the community. Theoretical workshops are designed to encourage participants to share their ideas, experiences, and knowledge, in order to generate new perspectives and innovative solutions. By producing a theoretical workshop, you have the opportunity to create a space for exchanging ideas and connecting with like-minded individuals in the community.
• Working Groups: Lead a space for projects that involve numerous people within the community—from learning programs under the Academany ecosystem to networks and projects. This is a chance to meet in person and discuss the roadmap for the coming year. The goal of these groups is to encourage cross-disciplinary collaboration and knowledge-sharing among participants with different backgrounds and expertise.
• Hands-on Workshop: You will have the opportunity to lead an interactive session where participants can learn by doing. You will be responsible for developing the content and structure of the workshop, and we will provide any necessary materials or equipment for participants. This is a chance to share your knowledge and skills with a diverse community of makers and innovators from around the world. Get ready to inspire and empower others to learn and create!
• 5min Talk (Fab Blast): Have a unique perspective, experience, or knowledge? Share it with the community, and create future connections to explore your chosen topic further. Your proposal should be clear and concise, while explaining the value of your talk to the conference attendees.
• ARTeFAB: Mixes sculpture, craft, interactive installations, fashion, wearables, and crazy inventions in an art exhibition about the current state of digital fabrication. Send us your creations to participate in the international showcase.
• • Beyond Fashion: participants from all over the world will have the opportunity to take part in a unique eco-futuristic fashion show that goes beyond the norms of production and consumption. Are you ready for the future of clothing in a world where we digitally design, fabricate, and grow our garments? This runway welcomes participants of all ethnicities, genders, and ages. *Learn more, and apply here
