This year’s showcase featured four presenters; Javina Greene, Tobias Briggs, Luke Jeer, and, joining live from South Africa, Courtney Farrant. These wonderful students shared their diverse and engaging research themes with our live and digital audience and were a fantastic example of the creativity and innovation at the heart of ACM.
The event was more than just a platform for academic discourse, it was a celebration of the forward-thinking ideas and groundbreaking projects that were are sure will make positive impact in the future creative industries. From exploring the future of creative education and amplifying the voices of women in music, to designing cutting-edge synthesisers for music production, the presentations offered a compelling look at where the industry is heading and what creatives can do to remain agile and forward-facing.
What made this showcase particularly special was the blend of formal presentations with more informal, yet equally enlightening, armchair discussions and interviews. These moments provided deeper insights into the personal journeys of the presenters and the passions that drive their research. It was clear from the discussions that these individuals are not just contributing to academic knowledge; they are poised to become influential leaders in their respective fields.
The showcase was a testament to the depth of talent within ACM’s postgraduate school. The innovative spirit and intellectual rigor on display left no doubt that these presenters are on the path to becoming key figures in the creative industries. Their work really did exemplify what is possible when passion, creativity, and academic excellence converge.
As we look to the future, the insights and innovations shared at this event leave us hugely excited for how our Alumni will continue to contribute to the ever-evolving creative industries. The ACM Postgraduate Showcase is not just a reflection of current research, it is a preview of the future leaders who will shape the creative landscape for years to come. We are proud of the achievements of these presenters and eagerly await the impact they will undoubtedly have on the world.
