Bangkok University Communication Arts International Conference Creative Industries in Asia: Innovating Within Constraints 1-2 July 2016, Bangkok, Thailand


Creative industries in Asia are growing exponentially. Their rise has historically been from an environment beset with cultural, financial, legal and technical constraints. In order to side-step the many challenges present in their respective home countries, creative industries have had to innovate and they have done so with good success. As a result, creative industries throughout Asia have not only increased their output in recent years but are also being consumed by a population with higher levels of disposable income.

The creative and cultural industries in Asia run the gamut from music compositions; books; painting and art; live performances; films; television dramas and game shows; sculpture; video and computer games; industrial design; marketing, advertising, and public relations; information and communication technologies; digital and social media applications; tourism and hospitality; and other highly imaginative endeavors.

Given these developments in the arts, governments in the region have come to realize the financial potential of this industry and have moved to harness the creative economy for their broader agenda of growth. The arts have also been embraced by the tertiary sector which is increasingly moving into educating for the creative industry. Here, technological developments have given creative industries in the region a new edge. Businesses are also coming forward to invest in projects that result in increased revenue. However challenges remain. These range from the legal and policy dimensions that cover areas of copyright and piracy; freedom of expression and censorship; technology and knowledge transfer; and government funding for the arts to private investment and social accountability.

School of Communication Arts will host the first Bangkok University International Communication Conference, “Creative Industries in Asia: Innovating Within Constraints” to be held at the Rangsit campus 1-2 July 2016.
