Next Big Thing - with Lauren Ingram Lauren Ingram

Leanne Elliott Young knows how to capture the zeitgeist, whether at Nike in their highly secretive Rm72 team and collaborating with Virgil Abloh, or now at the helm of the Institute of Digital Fashion (IoDF), as a cofounding team of self-professed “architects of a new digital culture”.

Leanne talks through her career, having been approached to join Nike not long after graduating, and spent nearly a decade there before rejecting fashion norms and throwing herself into digital fashion and pioneering bleeding edge tech instead - helping IoDF achieve world firsts such as the first ever NFT worn at the British Fashion Awards.

Leanne also shares her vision for the future, where technology seamlessly integrates into our lives, and our consumption habits shift towards reselling rather than producing everything new.

Ashley Gross created her AI-focused business in just 10 days and has a ton of learnings to share with us - in her last role, she rolled out AI tools to over 100 marketers and has taken that experience to grow her own business instead: The Prompt Community.

A former community manager for MyBFF, Ashley lives and breathes AI, Web3 and emerging tech and puts inclusion at the centre of what she’s building - as well as adding a more human touch to the usual AI content shared online, with 1970s graphics and fun ideas to try out. 

Ashley shares lots of advice on how to make use of AI, especially useful if you’re a marketer. (And you can catch up on our live Q&A about Easy AI Wins for Marketing: https://www.linkedin.com/events/easyaiwinsformarketing-womenofw7188254212374376448/comments/)
