2026 Tracks

This year’s CICLOPE Festival Program features a carefully curated lineup of content, built around seven tracks. Explore the themes shaping the conversations in Berlin, and get your pass to join us at the Home of Craft.

Deep dives into one specific project.

Sessions will explore why a project needed to exist? How did creative and production decisions drive results or cultural impact? What almost killed it? Where did craft become strategic?

Focused conversations around creative processes, authorship and the evolution of craft.

Track #3 — Craft Impact  

Where craft meets business, effectiveness and decision-making.

Speakers will share insights on how creative and production excellence become competitive advantages for brands.

Innovation, AI, new formats and evolving workflows in action.

Conversations will focus on creative problem-solving and learnings based on new technologies, tools or techniques, integrated into workflows.

Hands-on, technical deep dives across all craft disciplines, sharing practical and applicable real-world knowledge.

Aims to spark honest dialogue rather than deliver conclusions.

Sessions bring together voices with strong, often opposing points of view for discussions that are raw, human, and sometimes uncomfortable.

Focussing on everything that is usually edited out of the final case study.

This track shows how great work actually gets made; bringing to the stage the abandoned routes, production challenges, uncomfortable conversations and decisions that changed everything.
