The conference will explore how creativity and resilience—at individual, organisational, ecosystem, and societal levels—shape the ability to navigate, respond to, and harness technological disruption.

 

We welcome abstracts within the special tracks. Abstracts which do not fit into the special tracks can be submitted to the Open Track (Track 11.1).

​

We also welcome papers from practitioners for our practitioner-oriented track (Track 10.1). Please indicate if this is the case in your submission.
