The keynote presentation, "AI Unleashed: Exploring the Frontiers of Artificial Intelligence", was attended by over 400 design practitioners and students. Distinguished speakers shared their research findings and insights on AI from different perspectives, including cultural studies, architecture, digital branding, IT, entertainment industry and education.

We hope these discussions can generate new insights about sustainable design principles and drive exchanges, consolidating interaction among Asian countries and the Greater Bay Area to facilitate a sustainable and brilliant regional design development."
