In December, 2023, ICCI will host the 6th International Conference on Global Cultural and Creative Industries.
Human society is entering an era of digital civilization with the triadic integration of "human-AI-object", and digital technology is deeply integrated into all fields and processes in the coordinate system of social civilization with new concepts, new business modes and new models. The online information flow and the offline human flow intersect, the virtual world and the real world are constantly embedded with each other, and massive information and data are flowing around the world. Cultural industry has become the new driving force of global economic development, and cultural creativity has become the new driving force of economic development strategies of cities around the world. Global innovation networks have been leading a new way of distributing global resource elements and influencing the transformation of cultural industries together with global production networks. In the context of the digital civilization era, the development of digital human, metaverse, AIGC and other generative technologies further stimulates the cultural and creative fields to rely on emerging technologies for intelligence and empowerment, shaping the digital civilization era with a new cultural industry system. The conference will be based on the mutual reinforcement of human civilization development and technological innovation, and will focus on the three themes of digital intelligent cultural creation, digital art, and intelligent cultural tourism to discuss the new layout, new consumption, new energy, and new communication for the development of cultural and creative industries in the new era, with a view to exploring a new idea and new direction for the development and academic research of global cultural and creative industries in compliance with the progress of the times.
In line with the development trend of the times, grasping the frontier field of cultural and creative industries and responding to the common expectation of the society, the 6th International Conference on Global Cultural and Creative Industries will take "Transformation of Global Cultural and Creative Industries in the Digital Civilization Era" as its theme, build a platform for full dialogue and communication based on cross-discipline, and sincerely invite scholars and industrialists from different disciplines such as cultural industry, management, communication, design, art, ethnology， computer science，sociology, psychology, and intangible cultural heritage studies to actively participate in the conference, forming a collision of academic thoughts, new ideas and new technologies from the perspective of interdisciplinary disciplines, exploring new problems, new challenges and new opportunities for the development of cultural and creative industries, and discussing new trends in the development of global cultural and creative industries, academia and research.

Emerging Technologies and the “New Infrastructures” of the Film Industry
The fundamental and supportive role of film technology in the development of the film industry has been widely discussed and recognized, and this forum focuses on the impact of emerging technologies on the film industry. 3D technology, digital special effects, and computer-generated imagery have become the “new infrastructures” of the film industry, which cross the boundary between reality and imagination, expand the medium of expression, innovated the experience effect, and bring new possibilities for the audiovisual entertainment industry. In this context, the cross-industry integration of IP, intellectual property protection measures, film narratives under media convergence, and film-receiver relationships have all shifted to new forms. We look forward to submissions on emerging technologies and cultural innovations in the film industry.
Global South and Local Connections
Under the prospect of a flourishing digital civilization, we aim to analyze the digital civilization life practiced and imagined in the global South outside the developed Western countries, and to explore the trans-local ideological resources for the construction of a community of human destiny, with the goal of a just and pluralistic global pattern of de-dependence and decolonization. Research topics include, but are not limited to, digital cultural practices in rural and minority regions, multi-species and ecological civilization imagination, digital reinvention of local rituals, and the digital divide and its governance. The aim is to gain insights into the locality, complexity and plurality of digital civilization through interdisciplinary exchanges in anthropology, communication, sociology and history.
Digital Platform and Creative Economy
Digital platforms are the new driving force for the development of the future creative economy. Digital platforms have powerful connectivity, a wide range of connections, algorithms with high efficiency and products and services of many categories, generating a stronger network effect. Research on the history, organization, structure, economy, management and culture of digital platforms needs to be promoted from multiple theoretical and methodological perspectives. We welcome innovative interpretations of various digital platforms with an open vision, and research topics include but are not limited to Internet and social media, mobile podcasts, short videos, video games, platform applications, etc.
Smart Cities and Urban Public Culture
As we enter the stage of digital civilization, the city remains the key scene of human life. An important characteristic of urban culture is its public nature, i.e., the ability of urban spaces to accommodate group interaction, facilitate public cultural participation, and shape public subjectivity. From the perspective of city governors, digital technology is an important cornerstone for strengthening urban public culture. How to upgrade smart cities through digital technology? How to encourage citizens to actively participate in public culture? How to make cities more livable in the era of digital civilization? This forum hopes to promote the construction of a warmer digital civilization city culture through the discussion of the above questions.
Culture and Tourism Integration and The New Technological Modes
