The Sixth Global Creative Industries Conference is co-organized by the Global Creative Industries Programme of the School of Modern Languages and Cultures at HKU and Creative Push. Since its establishment in 2012, the Global Creative Industries Programme has endeavoured to foster the development of the creative industries, enhance interdisciplinary research on creativity and nurture creative talents. The conference on global creative industries provides a platform for researchers, educators, and practitioners to present their most updated research on all aspects of creative industries in all parts of the world.

The conference serves as a venue for researchers and educators to reflect on their research in this emerging field of study and locate the key theoretical and empirical questions that should be addressed in our future research. Most importantly, the conference aims to provide an opportunity for researchers, educators, and practitioners to exchange ideas, form alliances, and build networks to advance both the development of the industries and the understanding of the field.
