The event invited artists, technologists, and SmartCity thinkers to explore how emerging technologies are reshaping storytelling, public engagement, and urban design.

Among the contributors was another member, Ciara Del Grosso Bates of The Immersive Agency who “offered a critical take on AI in the creative process and demoed an MR experience-in-progress with audio-reactive visuals and facial mocap”
