Event Details

"Dall E", "Midjourney", the prevalence of AI have caused concern about how new technologies can invade the world of creativity. Yet, these disruptive advancements in technology also bring immense potential and opportunities to artists and performers, growing the seedlings of a new generation of creativeness. Where and how do we see harmonising integration when these two worlds collide?


Hosted by AmCham HK, this mixer serves as a platform for guests to meet and connect with seasoned professionals in the fields of AI tech, arts, and dance. A panel sharing will also be conducted to shed light on the current and future world of creation, hosted by distinguished professionals from art, AI, and dance. Guests can discover and spark new synergies in the world of the arts, bringing harmony to the ever-changing climate of technology and our world.


Join us for the mixer on the evening of November 30th, from 6 - 8 p.m. at the AmCham Community Hub.
