On 30 July 2026, a faculty member from our department participated in the China International Game Developers Conference (CIGDC) in Shanghai. Held under the theme “Harnessing Innovation, Empowering the Future,” the conference was organised by the China Audio-video and Digital Publishing Association and brought together game developers, industry experts, business leaders, and policymakers from around the world. The event served as a significant platform for discussing emerging trends in artificial intelligence, globalisation, and innovation within the digital entertainment and gaming sectors, while fostering dialogue on strategies for advancing the sustainable and high-quality development of the gaming industry. Senior representatives from government bodies, industry associations, and local authorities attended the conference.
