About
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 helps clients navigate innovation, building strategies and advising on delivery. She is an expert on the emerging opportunities - as well as the risks - of The New Realities (VR-AR-MR) having recently authored a cutting-edge, industry-leading report for Lloyd’s of London. She also specialises in the future of retail, audio, AI and IoT.
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, 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 experience 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.
Amelia's writing is often featured in WIRED UK, IBC365, and The Big Reveal, her popular monthly innovation newsletter. She is currently writing her next book and studying Swahili.

Great Techspectations: The Emerging Opportunities & Risks of AI, IOT, and the New Realities
Keynote speech, 20-60 minutes
New technologies bring new opportunities and new dangers many have never considered. Until now. As the author of an industry leading report for insurer Lloyd's of London, this talk focuses on the potential risks emerging with the New Realities, including the human risks (mental and physical), and the data risks. From GTP (gaming transfer phenomenon) to a new Black Market and Digital Consent, we are the regulators of our own community and this is a conversation that can't wait.
Reinventing the Customer Journey: Seamlessly merging the digital and physical with AR & VR
Keynote speech, 20-60 minutes
New technologies can be used to create seamless and memorable experiences that engage people from the high-street to the home.
