German Creative Economy Summit

The creative industry is in the midst of the biggest industry shift in recent years: AI, new business models and digital value creation are rapidly changing how creative companies, agencies and creative professionals work, make decisions and grow. If you want to know where the industry is heading, you should keep an eye on the German Creative Economy Summit 2026.

Two days full of insights, inspiration and exchange on the focus topic of “AI and the digital economy”: from AI use cases and the digital economy to new models of creative value creation. Decision-makers, strategists and creatives will discuss what is important now – and what opportunities are currently emerging.

The GCES brings together the knowledge and perspectives of the entire industry: film, music, games, design, advertising, media, creator economy, architecture, art, photography and more. There are also networking formats, workshops and sessions with sustainable practical benefits.

Hamburg. Two days. An event that determines the future of the creative industries.
