Wacom’s festival, Connected Ink 2021, kicks off on Tuesday, November 16, 2021 and lasts for 27 straight hours. This festival encompasses presentations on a variety of topics surrounding creativity, education, and technology, and its goal is to inspire creative chaos – thought-provoking exploration and new directions for art, human expression, education, and the technology supporting it all.

This year will feature prominent creatives and leaders discussing a wide range of topics. Some of the sessions in particular that might peak your interest include:
