Explore the future of arts, culture, and technology in Australia – and the mindsets, capabilities and skills we need to get there.
ACMI's annual Future of Arts, Culture and Technology Symposium returns in February 2025, partnering with Major Event Partner Creative Australia. This year, the symposium focuses on the future of culture, art, media and the infrastructures that support these areas. Along the journey we will be talking about the creative practices of the future, AI and its continuing impact, new organisational models and a lot more.
Created for cultural leaders, policy makers, and those sitting between creative practices and academia, now in its third year FACT exists to catalyse new conversations, drawing together disparate ideas that shape how we think and imagine today and tomorrow. The 2022 and 2023 editions set in train some vital conversations in our sector and began each year with valuable provocations and new networking opportunities.
This year’s program offers a range of engaging formats, including keynotes, panel discussions and workshops, enriched by ample opportunities for networking and a dedicated networking drinks event. For those interested, a pre-booked lunch add-on will be available. The symposium culminates with an optional third day of hands-on workshops and exclusive site tours.
All tickets to FACT 2025 also include free admission to our exhibition, The Future & Other Fictions.
