What do you have to do to get a former NASA engineer, a toymaker, neuroscientist, Korean cosplayers, one-time principal solo artist with Cirque du Soleil, drone pilots, AI practitioner, VR/AR enthusiasts, blockchain experts, and robotics geeks in the same place, at the same time?
First edition of Campus Party in Asia
These are some of the “Campuseros” who will be at the first edition of Campus Party in Asia held at the Singapore Expo from 6 to 8 July 2018. Participants or fellow Campuseros from diverse fields and a myriad interests and expertise will come together to share knowledge, collaborate on projects, and network for 72 hours over a 3-day unique camping event.
Programming: Six Tech Domains
Programmes at Campus Party Singapore will revolve around six domains: Artificial Intelligence, Autonomous Vehicles, Blockchain, the Internet of Things, Robotics and Drones, Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR/AR).
Festival-goers will live, breathe, and learn in three festival areas:
Campus Party Arena
This innovation incubator zone is a mind space designed to foster maximum creativity. Aside from conferences, there will be workshops and non-stop challenges meant to empower, challenge, and impart knowledge 24 hours a day.
Campus Party Village
“Campuseros” can retreat to their own “village” – a uniquely designed camp site for participants from all walks of life – to rest, yak with likeminded people, discover collaborative possibilities, and recharge for another day of challenges!
