Ukrainian Creative Stories 2026: From Networking to Podcasts
May 22, 2026
On May 28–29, Ukrainian Creative Stories 2026 in Kyiv will once again serve as a gathering place for the creative industry—a space for making new connections, professional discussions, exchanging ideas, and live conversation. In addition to the seminar program and award ceremonies, this year’s UCS will feature special activities organized by ADC*UA, Dyzarium, Creative Practice, and “U Chomu Vyklyk?”
These special activities will give participants the opportunity not only to listen and observe, but also to interact, meet new people, create, and discuss the creative industry in an informal setting. Networking games, group creative workshops, and open podcasts will be an integral part of the UCS 2026 atmosphere and will create additional space for communication within the professional community.
Among the special activities at UCS 2026, taking place on May 28, are Creative Match Bingo, Co-sketch Posters, and “Laurels Itch”.
Over the course of two days, UCS participants will be able to attend presentations by over 40 speakers, panel discussions, as well as evening award ceremonies for the ADC*UA Awards, Ukrainian Design: The Very Best Of, CRAVE Awards, Brave Awards, and the Kyiv International Advertising Festival.
The event will take place on May 28–29 in Kyiv. The seminar program and registration for UCS 2026 are available on the creative-stories.com.ua platform.
