Announcing Connected Ink 2022

October 13, 2022

Join us in as we explore the future of human creativity.

Have Humans really evolved since their origins?

How do Wacom’s technology and tools contribute to human creativity?

These questions provide a dedicated space for creative encounters and collective explorations at the convergence of art, education, science and technology. Connected Ink 2022 will take place around the world in Tokyo, Seoul, China, Düsseldorf, Portland, and online from November 6th to 19th.

Get creative inspiration direct to your inbox

Sign up for the Wacom Creative Newsletter for tips, tricks, news, and offers that will excite your imagination.

While the conference takes place globally and online, in the United States the action is centered in Portland, Ore from November 9-17th. We invite you to listen, learn and join in the conversations around the themes of humanity, education, digital ink technology, and creativity.

  • On November 9th, we’ll investigate how digital ink technology is transforming how people can interact digitally.
  • From the 10th-13th of November, we’ll explore the many ways Wacom is inspiring people to live creative lives.
  • On November 15th, we’ll consider how creative technology can make a powerful positive social impact on humanity.
  • And from November 16-17th, we’ll showcase how technology is elevating education and building engagement, access, and inclusion in the classroom.

Stopping is not quitting, is just taking a pause of the path to get another perspective 😉
