About

Picture
Amelia Kallman is a leading London futurist, speaker and author. As an innovation and technology communicator, Amelia regularly consults brands, agencies, and governments on the impact of new technologies on the future of business and our lives. She forecasts global trends and behaviours, helping clients navigate innovation, build strategies and deliver industry leading initiatives. She specialises in the emerging opportunities - as well as the risks - of XR, AI, big data, and IOT. Recent areas of study include the future of the metaverse, NFTs, tech responsibility, and the surfacing human rights issues of tomorrow.
​​
Recently named one of the 'Top 25 Women in the Metaverse', she hosts the podcast XR Star, as well as the YouTube series, Blockchain in the Metaverse.  Amelia's writing is often featured in WIRED UK, IBC365, and The Big Reveal, her popular innovation newsletter and YouTube channel. Clients include Unilever, Red Bull, Tata Communications, Together Labs, Lloyd's of London, TD SYNNEX, and UK Parliament. She is a mentor and activist in the responsible tech movement, and is currently writing her third book. 

Originally from a theatrical background, Amelia started her tech career by chance in 2013 at a creative technology agency where she worked her way up to become their Global Head of Innovation. She's opened, operated and curated pop-up and permanent tech labs in London, Scotland and Dubai, working with clients including Accenture, PWC, WIRED, and EY. 

Coming from a non-traditional technology background, she has a unique talent for making the complex accessible. Since going freelance in 2017 she has become an in-demand international speaker. As an independent futurist clients often find her frank, unbiased, and ethical assessments a refreshing contrast to speakers who endorse, sell and market.  

She's lectured at Cambridge University and UC Berkeley, written a multi-award winning book, exhibited her art internationally, and directed the first burlesque show in 360° video. She's led experiments that measure the emotional data of people ages 3-80 as they experienced VR for the first time, and more recently has been exploring the hypothesis that VR has the power to tap into the dormant part of our brains responsible for synesthesia, potentially unlocking new pathways of creativity.
