The 7th JCC 2026
“Creative Public Futures: Content, Civic Engagement, and Digital Culture in Southeast Asia“
Background
The 7th Jogjakarta Communication Conference (JCC) 2026, themed “Creative Public Futures: Content, Civic Engagement, and Digital Culture in Southeast Asia,” convenes at a critical juncture where the region’s rapid digital transformation intersects with complex questions of ethics, inclusion, and societal change. This forum addresses the entire communication ecosystem, from civic storytelling and AI’s impact on creative work to cross-border collaboration, media decolonization, and the policies shaping our digital lives. By examining sub-themes such as responsible content, community-based practices, strategic communication for change, and accessible technologies, JCC 2026 aims to foster a multidisciplinary dialogue that bridges academia, industry, policy, and community activism. Hosted in the cultural heart of Jogjakarta, the conference seeks to collectively envision and architect ethical, innovative, and sustainable pathways for public communication and digital culture across Southeast Asia.
