Supporting the region’s cultural ecosystem through professional development and thought-leadership has always been central to Art Dubai’s institutional role. Each year Art Dubai convenes the brightest minds, including the artists, curators, technologists and thinkers who are shaping the future of the creative industries. This year’s programme presents a significantly expanded thought-leadership offering, including more than 50 sessions across five days in a varied and multi-level programme of conferences and talks, and catering for a wide range of interests and expertise.
