Created to celebrate and recognize the art of creativity, graphic design and new creative solutions, the 5th European Creativity Festival features a packed programme of conferences, workshops, networking opportunities and other activities, delivered by some of the most innovative and inspiring people in Europe.

This year’s theme will be 'Rewiring the Creative Machine', and has been curated by Kris Hoet, Chief Innovation Officer & Co-Founder of Happiness.
