We are pleased to announce that the 2nd International Conference on Creative Design and Digital Business (ICCDBS) will be held on November 6, 2025, The theme of this year’s conference is:“Future of Work: Creativity, Business and Society”
Following the resounding success of the inaugural ICCDBS held in 2023, which brought together leading academics, industry professionals, and creative thinkers from across the globe, we are excited to once again open the doors for meaningful discussions, collaborations, and innovation. Building on this strong foundation, the second edition aims to further explore the evolving role of creativity and digital business in shaping our society.
This year, ICCDBS is organized in conjunction with:
The 6th International Conference on Creative Industries (ICCI)
The 6th International Conference on Development Studies and Communication Sciences (ICODECS)
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 of 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.
ICODECS aims to provide a multidisciplinary platform that brings together scholars, practitioners, and policymakers to engage in meaningful discussions across various fields — including education, social sciences, economics, law, bureaucracy, technology, environment, and public administration. These discussions focus on how the latest trends in science and technology are applied to manage both natural and human resources for sustainable development, reflecting our commitment to innovative solutions that address global challenges and support the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
