Discussing what’s still worth making, at the Future Forum.

Each of us has their own idea of the future. However, we hardly ever convene to discuss our hopes and tribulations about what's to come. This is why I am so thankful that visionary entrepreneur Matt Scheckner brought his inaugural Future Forum to London this week, with Adobe as the official Creativity Partner.

During these incredibly inspiring couple of days, the brief was simple: STEP OUT OF YOUR LANE.

I have had the chance to return to Abbey Road, and witness the emergence of tomorrow's musical talent, thanks to the very talented pupils of The BRIT School. I also got the chance to lay my hands on the mythical Challen piano, used by The Beatles on the Magical Mystery Tour and The White Album (a BIG moment for me).

I witnessed David Shing Dr Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg and our very own Simon Morris discuss a vision for the future of creativity, where human talent, visions and ideas reach new heights thanks to the power of technology.


And had the privilege to sit at a round table with Georgi Kamov Alex Wills Matthew Drinkwater Dr Sarah Nicolls Xuehan Jiang Kerensa Samanidis to talk about what's still worth making, when as a society, we can make anything.

All of it left me with a genuinely hopeful view of the future, that we can build if we sit and talk to each other. Huge thanks to James Steel and David Osei for having me, and being my partners in crime as I prepared for this event.
