What is Sónar+D

Sónar+D is the international conference for creativity and technology, designed to promote talent and business opportunities in the digital culture environment.

Sónar+D is held in Barcelona together with Sónar by Day at the Palau de Congressos in Fira Montjuïc. It brings together experts from around the world (technologists, entrepreneurs, artists, companies and researchers) to present and transmit initiatives and tools that will help to shape future creative experiences in the areas of music, image, interactive content, and transmedia platforms.

Sónar+D is a meeting point with interdisciplinary and cross sector focus, targeting professionals from the creative, technological and cultural industries, following their interaction, knowledge sharing, debate and discussion, showcasing talent and generating new business.

Sónar+D organically integrates to Sónar, and contributes in positioning the festival as an active catalyst in the creative technologies sector, far beyond its natural habitat of music and new media.
