The guest speakers are Chinese Arts Now CEO and artistic director An-Ting Chang from Britain, New Asia Chamber Music Society co-founder and artistic director Dr Wei-Yang Andy Lin from the United States, the emerging painter Chih-Lin Yeh from Sweden and the film artist Alice Tseng from the UK.

An-Ting focused on new theatres in the UK, including the success story of Fleabag. Andy shared his experiences in the United States and how he combined Chinese and Western music. Chih-Lin talked about inspirations for her art works. Alice shared her dreams in pursuing a career in film making.
