Crafty Learns

Crafty Learns is a day dedicated to learning the day before the main Fest kicks off. Consisting of a series of interactive workshops, we aim to provide you with the opportunity dive deeper into more technical subjects.

When you buy your two day ticket, you get to book which workshops you want to attend so you can tailor the day to exactly meet your needs.

In 2026, we had four tracks operating throughout the day including: The Disputes and Crisis Track, The Corporate track, The HR, Data, and Brand track, and The AI and Legal Ops Track. 

With thanks to our Crafty Fest 2026 Partners
