The report will be unveiled on March 20th in a webinar that will be open to the public.

Trend and creativity expert Patrizia Boglione will present seven key trends set to shape the future of European visual communication.

The objective extends beyond merely highlighting global creative excellence. ADCE’s Trend Report 2024 explores diverse interpretations of the human experience and examines how external socio-demographic factors shape its perception.

A total of seven trends have been identified from the projects presented at the ADCE Awards 2024:

• Roots to Resonance
