EXHIBITION OF THE FUTURE

At the summit we launched our Good Life 2030 Exhibition of the Future: an immersive experience exploring the role of advertising and creativity from the perspective of a future worth building.

The experience showcased Ads for the Future from agencies, creatives, platform creators and students. Visitors also got to tour the wider field of futures and imagination practices that inspired Good Life 2030.
