The event explores how narrative practices are being reshaped through digital platforms, emerging media, and technological innovation. Focusing on storytelling as this increasingly unfolds across interactive systems, immersive environments, and transmediality, the conference provides a space to critically examine both the creative opportunities and the conceptual challenges these developments introduce.The programme will feature keynote presentations from leading researchers and practitioners, alongside talks from academics and creatives, with contributions that will reflect on how digital technologies are transforming narrative structures, audience participation, and the cultural role of storytelling.The first day of the conference focuses on keynote talks and research presentations, concluding with a talk a music composer and performer will give on his personal journey to telling stories to an audience. This is an event that explores storytelling through creative practice and it will be followed by open discussion.The second day begins with keynote talks but later shifts towards collaborative experimentation. Participants will take part in a facilitated hackathon-style session designed to generate new ideas, interdisciplinary collaborations, and potential research or creative projects connected to the aims of the DSIN. This second day aims to encourage attendees to move beyond passive attendance, towards practical experimentation and the creation of new collaborative initiatives.Programme:Day-110:00 – Marie Rodet11:00 – Jez Coram11:30 – Che John12:00 – Konstantinos Papathanasiou12:30 – Lunch break13:30 – Joachim Friedmann14:30 – Alex Kelly15:00 – Martin Wilson15:30 – Persephone Sextou16:00 – Richard Hudson-Miles16:30 – David AldredDay-210:00 – Hartmut Koenitz11:00 – Hackathon-style activity12:30 – Lunch break13:15 – Hackathon-style activity14:30 – Hackathon showcase and discussionsWe look forward to seeing you there. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/leeds/digital-storytelling-and-innovation-network-dsin-2026-conference-2and3-07/100001985516632697 - **Event Categories**: business, conferences, storytelling, it, hackathons, contests, performances, entertainment, art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 8 hours - Location: Leeds School of Arts, Leeds Beckett University - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Leeds - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Leeds School of Arts, Leeds Beckett University - **lat**: 53.8029808 - **long**: -1.5489552 - **full address**: Leeds School of Arts, Leeds Beckett University, Portland Way, Leeds, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Digital Storytelling and Innovation Network (DSIN) 2026 Conference (2&3/07) - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/3809a3c6d03ae4c8982803665274d213d0bc2faff0b54008ce2b15fb3821305d-rimg-w1200-h1600-dc040404-gmir.jpg?v=1778076485 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Digital Storytelling and Innovation Network (DSIN) 2026 Conference (2&3/07) being held? - **A:** Digital Storytelling and Innovation Network (DSIN) 2026 Conference (2&3/07) takes place on Thu, 02 Jul, 2026 at 09:00 am to Fri, 03 Jul, 2026 at 05:00 pm at Leeds School of Arts, Leeds Beckett University, Portland Way, Leeds, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing Digital Storytelling and Innovation Network (DSIN) 2026 Conference (2&3/07)? - **A:** Digital Storytelling and Innovation Network (DSIN) 2026 Conference (2&3/07) is organized by Digital Storytelling and Innovation Network. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
