About KIKK Festival

The KIKK Festival, an international festival of creative and digital cultures, will be held for the 13th time in Namur from October 24 to 27, 2024. For four days, digital artists, companies and the general public will be coming together to exchange ideas, learn and network in a festive and creative setting. This unique international event in Belgium aims to bring together, inspire and highlight the most innovative projects through talks, meetings, exhibitions and demonstrations. This festival has become a not-to-be-missed event, offering the chance to discover developments in a teeming, bubbling world, gain a better understanding of its codes and question its challenges.

The festival offers a program for the general public as well as a professional program. Digital culture players, graphic artists, designers, artists, researchers and other creatives will have plenty of opportunities to get inspired, discover innovative projects and launch collaborations. On the program :
