This year’s conference offers a rich program in interactive digital storytelling, with paper sessions presenting modern storytelling tools, biocultural diversity through participatory narratives, and AI-driven narrative creation. Key themes also include ecocritical perspectives, emotional realism in game characters, and IDN as a pedagogical methodology. The art exhibition features 16 selected artworks from around the world, along with pieces from some keynote speakers, showcasing a great diversity of narrative forms and topics.

The whole conference is hybrid. For onsite attendees, paper sessions will be held in Classroom 31K.
