It aims to unite leaders, creatives, and visionaries in the electronic music and arts industries, offering a platform to explore themes such as Future, Community, Impact, and Pathways.

Brian Eno, the legendary musician, visual artist, and climate activist, will open the conference on Thursday with a keynote conversation in association with EarthPercent.
