HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 8 August 2024 - The annual Digital Entertainment Leadership Forum (DELF) 2024, organised by Cyberport, will be held from August 16 to 18 at the Cyberport campus.

This year's theme is "Imaginary Fairground: AI-Powered Entertainment in the Web 3.0 Era". The event will feature industry forums, experiential zones, workshops, and competitions, allowing attendees to immerse themselves in a vibrant carnival atmosphere.

The "Culture & Arts" theme will present the "Van Gogh DigiVillage", using innovative art technology (Art Tech) to raise awareness of art, culture, and nature conservation, as well as showcase the works of the world's first AI ink wash artist, A.I. GEMINI.

The three-day event will bring together representatives from leading digital entertainment companies and distinguished speakers to explore how emerging technologies such as AI, high-performance computing (HPC), and Web 3.0 are shaping the future of digital entertainment and smart living.
