Speaker Insights at Top Sessions

Collaborative Creativity: Navigating Change and Ambiguity to Drive Progress
"For me, design is all about creativity with purpose, driven by empathy. The success of design is closely linked to the level of interconnectivity of design."
Eric Quint
3M Company ∙ Former Vice President, Chief Brand and Design Officer ∙ US
 
From Content Curation to e-Commerce: New Future of Contents
"How a creation is evaluated must be based on whether it can improve the quality of life. It’s like reaping what you sow."
SK Lam
AllRightsReserved ∙ Founder ∙ HK
 
Branding in the Changed New World
"There are four major trends that change consumer behaviour (since the pandemic), namely the digital acceleration, live-streaming sales models, raising health awareness, and innovation in retail channels."
Prof. Viveca Chan
WE Marketing Group ∙ Chairman & CEO ∙ HK
 
Rethinking Digital Transformation: The Role of Design
"The fourth industrial revolution just happened. The fourth industrial revolution is about artificial intelligence, machine learning, data, digital touchpoints suddenly being in our lives. And they are here now."
Clive Grinyer
Clivegrinyer ∙ Design Consultant | Royal College of Art ∙ Head of Service Design ∙ UK
 
In Conversation with Carlo Ratti: Initiatives to Deal with the Covid-19 Situation
"Because we did everything open source, people around the world started taking our design and building their own. By open-sourcing, we’re much faster in design, in replication and execution. In a crisis, we need to rethink what we do. We try something, we share it, and get feedback immediately."
Carlo Ratti
MIT Senseable City Lab ∙ Director | Carlo Ratti Associati ∙ Founding Partner ∙ US / Italy
 
Better Business through Digital Influence
"If you're fast enough to keep up with current events, the 'issue jacking' strategy can get a lot of publicity, but at the same time, the brand needs to take a considerable risk. Brands need to be smart enough to handle and evaluate how much impact this strategy has on them."
Winnie Lam
Spread-it Limited ∙ Co-founder ∙ HK
