The Creative Industry (CI) is driven by ideas, innovation, and intellectual property, supported by creative economy policies that prioritize knowledge and creativity over natural resources. In the digital era, creativity is increasingly shaped by technological advancements—through software, hardware, applications, and media platforms—which have become essential tools in today’s fast-evolving and disruptive economy. While developed countries progressed through economic stages sequentially, many developing nations experience these transitions simultaneously, accelerated by digital access. This dynamic landscape demands a collaborative and context-aware approach to foster inclusive creative growth. The International Conference on Creative Industry (ICCI) serves as a platform for academics and industry professionals to exchange ideas, explore strategies, and strengthen synergy in building a resilient and future-ready creative ecosystem.
We invite papers for the 6th International Conference on Creative Industries 2025 to be held in Surabaya, Indonesia at Nov 6, 2025. The theme of the conference is Future of Work: Creativity, Business and Society.
We welcome submissions that address a wide range of topics in the area of creative design, business and society, including but not limited to:
Submit your research papers, case studies, and best practices to share your insights and contribute to a dynamic and forward-thinking conversation. The conference will be an excellent opportunity to network with peers, discuss the latest research, and explore new ideas for shaping the future of industrial design, interior design, and visual communication design.
We are looking forward to your valuable contributions and participation in the exploration of this important topic.
