LMTA Career Day’s 2026 new workshop

We invite you to take part in the LMTA Career Day STARtas 2026 on March 12–13

One of the central program elements will be an innovation workshop in a problemathon format, hosted together with our partners ArtTech Agency.

ArtTech Agency works at the intersection of art, technology, and innovation, focusing on developing creative ideas into sustainable projects and helping creators navigate intellectual property, entrepreneurship, and new production models. Their experience in bridging the creative and innovation ecosystems will shape both the structure and mentoring approach of this workshop.

The problemathon will be preceded by three keynote/workshop sessions that will serve as an introduction and conceptual framework for the innovation workshop:

• Edmundas Pučkorius, CBDO and event producer, Antidote.community – on the process of creating an art “product” and collaborative creative practices;

• Agnesta Filatovė, Head of ArtTech Agency – on defining the “why” and shaping ideas for development;

• Vytenis Buzas, entrepreneur and startup founder – on creativity and its relationship with business and entrepreneurship.

Unlike a classic hackathon, this workshop will focus on identifying, framing, and refining relevant challenges in the creative and cultural fields. Participants will work in small teams, combining rotating group phases (to cross-pollinate perspectives) with more stable team work. The process will be supported by a professional moderator and mentors.

Following the workshop, a selected number of teams will receive mentorship packages aimed at further developing their ideas toward intellectual property (IP) registration and practical implementation.

Additionally, once we know the number of visiting students, we are planning to invite them to a financing-focused workshop in the morning and a networking session on the evening before the main event, to encourage deeper exchange and collaboration.

We believe this format is especially valuable for students and young professionals in the arts, as it strengthens not only innovation skills, but also critical thinking, collaboration, and problem-framing competences.

We would be very happy to welcome your institution and representatives to join this initiative and meet our students during the event.
