CO-CURATORS
A new perspective is entering #ICCACongress26. This year, we’re introducing a multi-modal format. But what does that mean for you? Multiple creators, multiple worlds, all in one place. It’s like several congresses happening at once, and you choose where to go, who to meet, and what you take away.
Each content stream is designed by a Co-Curator. A global leader from outside our industry, bringing fresh thinking, real-world expertise, and new ways of learning into the programme.
This is where #CrossWorlds comes to life, and this is just the beginning. Different worlds are coming together. Are you ready to cross yours?
