Session I: A Virtual Event
Architects of the Branding & Entertainment Experience: AI - CGI – XR
The spectacular world of moving images, immersive experiences and iconic visuals has never had more powerful tools at its disposal — or more visionary artists willing to push them to their absolute limits. From Sphere-sized domes and mega-structures that transform city skylines into living canvases, to the most intimate and precisely targeted viral campaigns delivered directly to your phone — the architects of today's branding and entertainment experience are operating at a scale and sophistication that would have been unimaginable a decade ago. AI, CGI and XR have become the defining instruments of a new creative renaissance. In this session we showcase the work and hear from the master creators behind the most eye-catching brand campaigns and inventive entertainment experiences being produced anywhere in the world today.
