The 14th edition, entitled ‘Boom Boom Tchak’, celebrates the musicality of life through the prism of sound, rhythm and technological innovation. The festival offers a rich programme: conferences, interactive installations, exhibitions, artistic performances, workshops, networking and creative markets.
The must-see event for digital and creative cultures
Since its creation in 2011 in Namur, the KIKK Festival has established itself as an international crossroads between art, science, technology and design. Every year, it brings together thousands of visitors and professionals from around the world to explore the intersections between disciplines in an atmosphere that is festive, forward-looking and inspiring.
The KIKK Festival is a source of inspiration and opportunities for designers, whatever their field:
- Graphic & digital design: The festival offers a programme of conferences on creative coding, data visualisation, branding, motion design, UX/UI, and artificial intelligence applied to creation, as well as meetings with internationally renowned studios such as Base Design, or artists such as Ines Alpha, who explore the boundaries between design and technology.
- Fashion design: The festival’s focus on experimentation and interdisciplinarity provides fertile ground for collaborations between fashion, art, and technology.
- Product design: The KIKK Market welcomes tangible projects in XR/VR/AR, health tech, kids tech, and object design, promoting user testing, pre-sales, and meetings with investors. Immersive and interactive exhibitions offer product designers a broader vision of uses and sensory experiences.
A springboard to international success
The KIKK Festival also boosts international visibility, which is why it is supported by WBDM. B2B meetings with international creative industry professionals are organised. The festival also promotes participation in an international ecosystem, with artists from several countries and an app dedicated to professional matchmaking.
Participating in the KIKK Festival means immersing yourself in a world where design interacts with emerging technologies, where ideas flow freely, and where opportunities for collaboration and development abound. It is an unmissable event for any designer seeking meaning, innovation and networking opportunities.
