The academic strand schedules workshops and special tracks from 6 November, followed by the main sessions on 10–14 November. Topics include digital art, cultural memory, the environment and artificial intelligence in creative practice.
An in-person artistic programme is expected to showcase more than 100 works at venues across Dubai. According to the organisers, registration for that programme is free; the online academic programme requires a ticket, with a 50% discount for students using a valid university email address. These are announced plans whose delivery remains to be followed.
