Another month, another mega-conference. I've only barely recovered from #ICA25 and now #IAMCR2025 is upon us. At least I don't have to deal with jet-lag this time!
(Sympathies and support to those having to deal with jet-lag AND Singapore's humidity 🌻🍀🌺)

Hello #ICA25! This morning I'm on a high density panel "Making Sense of AI Across the Media Industries" at Aspen Ballroom, Grand Hyatt. I'm sharing thoughts on the impact of AI on creative labour from a small-nation (Singapore!) perspective. Come by and say hi!
