Spanning 6,000 square meters, the expo features four major exhibition zones and hosts contributions from renowned artists and institutions, including the Palace Museum and over 20 prominent tech enterprises. Through interactive displays, it offers visitors a tangible experience of how art and technology are increasingly intertwined in the digital age.

One of the standout features of the event is its high-level dialogue platform. More than 15 keynote speeches and forums are set to explore topics such as the commercialization of digital art, the cultivation of creative talent in the era of digital civilization, and the evolving relationship between culture, innovation, and technology.

With its theme "Converging at the Summit," the expo positions itself as a meeting point for visionary minds from diverse disciplines and cultures. Organizers hope it will provide a Chinese perspective on the evolution of digital art, offering creative insights and strategic direction in a field increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence and cross-border collaboration.
