In an era where storytelling is no longer confined to the page or screen, the Modern Audience Conference 2026 offers a rare and essential space for creators, thinkers, and fans to come together and deep dive into the cutting edge of interactive storytelling, narrative gaming, and audience psychology. For anyone working in, or passionate about, the evolving landscape of storytelling, missing MAC 2026 means missing your moment.

First speaker announced: Gareth Langley (Piing) – Games for Crowds.
What does it take to get tens of thousands of people playing at once, in real time – and what does that reveal about attention, agency, and crowd psychology?

We’ll announce the rest of the programme one speaker at a time.
