Speakers

Katie Briefel is a writer, interviewer and brand strategist exploring how we stay human, curious and connected in an increasingly digital world.

She works with founders on the human side of building technology - from story to community and cultural resonance, helping them build brands that connect beyond the product and cut-through an increasingly crowded landscape. 

Alongside this, Katie hosts conversations with innovators, founders, investors and cultural thinkers about creativity, leadership and the future of human connection - partnering with organisations including NBC, Web Summit and AdWeek.

And most recently Katie advised early-stage founders and fast-growing scale-ups within Europe’s largest tech ecosystem - Founders Forum Group. 

Previous to that, she spent over a decade leading global campaigns for brands including Samsung, Molson Coors, John Lewis & Partners and Aviva at award-winning agencies in London and New York, with work recognised by Cannes Lions and the IPA Effectiveness Awards.
