See keynotes with James PoulterAs the field of artificial intelligence continues to grow and evolve, we are seeing major players like Google, Amazon, and Meta entering the space and competing with OpenAI for dominance in the area of large language models (LLMs). This competition is driving innovation which is great news for businesses looking to leverage the power of AI. But what is coming? When can you expect this to really impact the way you work? Why is it important to learn more and embrace these technologies, and how can you benefit from the new wave of AI? In this speech James Poulter looks at how the future is arriving fast and how you can use it and how if can impact any industry from health, tech, retail, and education.
In this session we will look at the ever growing “metaverse” and help delegates understand what it is, and crucially, what it isn’t.
Giving insights into how Web 3.0 Technology is going to change the way we work, meet, learn and develop and the expectations of the next generation of workers. As we emerge from the pandemic we will look at the impacts that COVID has had on our ways of working and where technology like AR, VR, NFTs and Voice tech could change our workplaces in the future.
The Digital Revolution has already changed the way we work and communicate with our clients, but the future of the workplace has faced further challenges with the impact of COVID-19.
In this presentation James Poulter looks at how you can continue to build a culture of innovation and what will need to change in order for companies to evolve to the new ways of working. Using some real-life examples from his time at Lego, Edelman and Ogilvy, James looks at what new controls (CTL) will need to be in place to allow a return to work. What will need to be altered (ALT) to allow your team to innovate, work together and still maybe work from home with a new work/life balance – and what will need to deleted (DEL) from previous ways of working. There is no choice now to innovate – innovate is essential to survive.
In this session James will talk through how using agile practices he and the team at Vixen Labs have built a multi-million dollar business in just 24 months by coming along side global business to build cultures of innovation which are ready to embrace change at pace.
When we blend the best of play with the best of work we get a culture that truly moves people to innovation. In this talk James will show you where your organisation sits on the “innovation pendulum” and how you can shift from a siloed approach to a culture of innovation.

–In this presentation James takes you into the not too distant future to look at the real impact of new and advancing existing technologies and how they will impact individuals lives in a 24 hour period and what long term benefits they will bring.
What happens when Alexa wants to divest her shares at Amazon? Or Siri wants to get baptized? We are living in a world where the AIs we live with every day take steps towards general intelligence. At the same time we want ever more functionality out of our devices, yet must give up more privacy to get there.

“JP is full of energy, ideas, and passion for technology. He is a very strong networker and collaborator who is always looking to support new projects and initiatives and is focused on ensuring he has a strong knowledge and expertise on whatever the “next big thing” around the corner is. He also has a fantastic network and is a valued sparring partner on many topics - from Voice to Blockchain via GIFs and Emojis. It has been great working with him at LEGO Group”
“JP is the ultimate collaborator. He empowers his teammates and shares his knowledge of digital trends and technologies at every opportunity. He is the first person to volunteer for a hackathon and is an exceptional facilitator of strategic partnerships. JP was a key member to the development of LEGO's social app LEGO Life (launched #1 in Kids category), and the driving force behind the LEGO emoji language (featured on Jimmy Fallon)."
“In this new age of digital marketing and pr, there are few people in the UK that absolutely 'get it'. Those that do have been busy proving just how valuable this new way of doing things is to business and James is one of those people. Knows his stuff, explains it in an easy to understand way and keeps his eye on future trends and how it all fits together”
“I thought that James’ talk was intuitional, intentional and intelligent. His delivery style was very much the zeitgeist of our times. It inspired a vast amount of ideas”
