ADC*E’s annual European Creativity Festival brings together a wide variety of professionals from diverse fields, who share their passion for change and innovation through creativity.

Conferences, workshops, exhibits, and networking spaces are devised to celebrate design and new creative solutions.

This year was, once again, a tremendous success, thanks to everyone who chose to participate and be part of it. Thanks to all attendees for contributing to the community and enriching the conversation that shapes the future of the creative industry.

 
What’s the story behind?

Each edition of the ADC*E Festival strives to present innovative ideas and models that challenge the way we see creativity and inspire shifts in perceptions that will help reshape the future of the industry.

As a curated event, participants are exposed to meaningful talks revolving around a major chosen topic of specific relevance to the fields of design and advertising.  Most of the speakers go on to work hand-in-hand with the participants in one of the programmed workshops covering industry trends, new technologies and powerful working models.

All in all, attendees walk away with new ideas that can make a real impact on their work.

ADC*E Festival 2024 took place in Barcelona’s Design Hub the days 21st and 22nd of November.

“Agents of Change - Change from within”
Laura Visco | Festival Curator


“Do the rules of our industries push us to make real changes, or do they just lead to minor adjustments here and there? Are we really changing our industries or, on the contrary, are they changing us?

Before we can truly become agents of change in our respective fields, we must first embark on a journey of personal transformation. It is only by changing ourselves—our mindsets, our habits, our perspectives—that we can effectively catalyze change in our industries and beyond.

Thus, the essence of being an agent of change lies in having the audacity to question, to disrupt, to step out of our respective comfort zones. Starting with ourselves.

This year we celebrate those who dared to chart into new territories and question themselves, then question the industry as a whole.”
