BEYOND 2025

BEYOND 2025

Now in its 8th year, BEYOND is the UK’s leading conference for research and innovation. Over three days at MediaCity UK (Nov 24-26), over 100 speakers across 70+ sessions will explore the ideas shaping the future of the creative industries.

In a world where creativity drives innovation, we’re exploring the intersection of imagination, technology, and place. From the rise of the Creator Economy to the evolution of Innovation Districts and cutting-edge CreaTech, a new ecosystem is emerging—one where creators, technologists, and communities co-design the future.

BEYOND 2025 will bring together creative leaders from YouTube, V&A, Channel 4, BFI, Boomtown, Google DeepMind, Arts & Humanities Research Council, the British Council, and the UK’s leading universities, with delegates from 20+ countries. BEYOND is where the creative industries converge.

The conference includes an engaging, three-day programme of talks, workshops, innovation showcases and UK research talent, taking place at Lowry in Salford's MediaCity and a host of Fringe events, as well as being available to watch live and on demand.
