Free to the public, this year's program consists of 26 talks, addressing highly relevant industry topics such as the future of public and private collecting, alternative business models for younger galleries, current developments within the art market in Asia as well as gender politics in the arts. The program will also feature prominent artists from across the world such as Sophia Al-Maria, Rasheed Araeen, Astha Butail, Samuel Fosso, Guerrilla Girls, Antony Gormley, He Xiangyu, Kim Yong-Ik, Yurie Nagashima, Gabriel Orozco, Lisa Reihana, Nilima Sheikh, Timur Si-Qin, Melati Suryodarmo, Charwei Tsai, Anton Vidokle, and Yu Hong.
