ADFEST 2026 is calling on creative thinkers, storytellers, and innovators to step forward with program proposals for next year’s festival. Set to take place from 19–21 March 2026 at the Royal Cliff Hotels Group in Pattaya, Thailand, this year’s theme — Human+ — explores how creativity, empathy, and technology can come together to shape a more human future.
Submissions are open until 30 November 2025 and can take the form of keynotes, panels, demonstrations, or workshops. ADFEST seeks content that is original, inspiring, and boundary-pushing — the kind that challenges perspectives, sparks meaningful dialogue, and leaves attendees with clear, actionable insights.
Proposals should align with one of five tracks: Creativity Enhanced, Empathy & Experience, Culture & Community, Ethics & Responsibility, and Futures & Possibilities. Whether you want to explore how technology expands imagination, how brands can build trust through emotion, or how ethics will define the next creative era, there’s a space for your voice.
ADFEST encourages in-person participation, with all sessions conducted in English. While the festival does not cover travel, accommodation, or speaker fees, it offers an unparalleled platform to connect with a diverse audience of 800–1,000 creative professionals across the Asia Pacific and MENA regions.
If you’re ready to share insights that inspire and provoke, submit your ADFEST 2026 program proposal by 30 November 2025. Visit the ADFEST website for submission details and be part of a festival that celebrates creativity, culture, and the limitless possibilities of being Human+.
