Imagination Unleashed 2026

Imagination Unleashed is Screen Cornwall’s annual celebration of creative technology (CreaTech), bringing together creativity, innovation and digital skills at the Hall for Cornwall.

In 2026, the event took place across two free days, one for schools and one for industry.

Imagination Unleashed 2026 brought together creatives, technologists, students and industry leaders for two inspiring days exploring the future of creative technology in Cornwall.

Hosted by Screen Cornwall, the event showcased the power of innovation across immersive storytelling, digital production, interactive design and emerging technologies. From thought-provoking panel discussions and keynote talks to hands-on demonstrations and VR experiences, the programme highlighted how CreaTech is shaping the next generation of creative opportunity.

The Schools Day welcomed young people from across the region, offering direct access to industry professionals and practical insight into creative career pathways. The Industry Day connected practitioners, businesses and partners to share knowledge, spark collaboration and strengthen Cornwall’s growing CreaTech ecosystem.

Imagination Unleashed is part of Screen Cornwall’s ongoing commitment to supporting talent development, fostering innovation and creating space for meaningful industry connection. The energy, ideas and conversations sparked across the two days reflect the strength and ambition of the region’s creative sector.
