IMX 2023 conference will be held in the Creation District of the island of Nantes, more precisely at Nantes Université Halle 6 Ouest building. This building is known as interdisciplinary university centre dedicated to digital cultures.
The new Quartier de la Création transformed the former Alstom factories (Ateliers et Chantiers de Bretagne), into an urban campus for training, research, and innovation. Rebuilt in the early 1950s, Halle 6 Ouest is the last stage in the evolution of this site since the beginning of the 20th century. The architectural approach preserves and enhances the memory of the place, which once housed shipbuilding and heavy engineering workers.
