About this Event
Event Overview:
The UnConference is a new kind of gathering — one built for those shaping the future. This is not a passive event. It’s designed to provoke, challenge, and co-create, not just listen.
This September, we’re bringing together 70+ innovation minds (all genders) across tech, food, finance, and design for a fast-paced, thought-provoking afternoon at RSA House in London. A historic space built for ideas, debate, and action, home to centuries of radical thinkers and changemakers.
Together, we’ll ask: What kind of world are we really building and who gets to shape it?
Because more women in the room means better futures for everyone. Not just because it’s fair — but because representation builds smarter systems, better ideas, and innovations that actually serve people. We’ll confront the systems beneath our systems: from the biases being baked into AI, to the limits of business-as-usual sustainability, and what’s holding back the future we all deserve.
Expect candid conversations, surprising provocations, and a food and drink experience that brings our themes to life — all in a room full of people with the power and passion to build differently.
Event Info:
Doors open at 12pm at RSA House for a curated sensory food and drink experience by chef, author and storyteller Sabrina Gidda, inspired by the physical and digital futures we’re exploring.
Then sessions run from 1:30 pm–5:00pm with panel discussions across the auditorium and sector facilitated breakouts in the vaults, finishing with themed drinks, nibbles and chats.
Who It's For:
Senior leaders creating the future across sectors:
- Tech, product, and platform innovation
- Policy, infrastructure, and regulation
- Sustainability and systems change
- FMCG, food systems and health

The UnConference is not for those content with passive listening. It’s for decision-makers, designers, founders and future-shapers who want real conversation, connection, and action. Whether you’re building worlds in boardrooms, labs, design studios, or systems, you’ll be welcomed as co-authors, not just an attendee.

Agenda
Designing for a Better Planet
Host: Karla Morales-Lee
Info: The effects of climate change are all around us. Businesses are doing more because they must. But are we doing enough, fast enough, and in the right places? Today what sustainability means is shifting. We all have a role to play in creating a regenerative future.
Creating a Better Digital World
Host: Amy Daroukakis
Info: AI and digital products are being built on historical data, quietly embedding bias into our future. We’re told machines are neutral. But if the people building them don’t reflect society, the problems get harder to see and harder to undo.
