Beyond the Silos: Building Talent for Convergent Technologies

This provocative workshop addresses a critical inflection point: we’re not starting from scratch, but we can’t simply bolt new technologies onto old curriculum models. The challenge isn’t that jobs don’t exist, it’s that they’re emerging at the intersections of disciplines we’ve historically kept separate. This masterclass is for educators adapting proven pedagogies to convergent tech ecosystems, and professionals building talent pipelines that don’t fit traditional departmental silos. Together, we’re building bridges to de-silo; dismantling the artificial boundaries between film and games, between creative and technical training, between computer science and storytelling, between academic programs and industry practice.
