Come for the Talk and a Meet & Greet after the show! I’d love to head down to the pub and get to spend some time with you all.
TEDx Theme: What We Carry
Lindsay James, known online as Shameless Elle, is a content creator with over 2.5 million followers who started making videos out of boredom during the pandemic. As her audience grew, she joked that there had to be a glitch in the algorithm, that people would eventually realize they had accidentally followed her and quietly leave.

Being introduced on stage as the keynote speaker and “social media expert” at the Pomeroy 2026 Summit made it difficult to keep calling her success accidental or continue believing she needed to become something more before she had something worth sharing.

That realization became the foundation of her work: helping individuals and businesses examine what they may have traded in pursuit of ‘something more.

Her TEDx talk, “The Exhausting Full-Time Job of Becoming Acceptable,” explores the hidden work many of us do in pursuit of acceptance, and the stories we carry from the experiences that shaped us.
