Winter Meeting 2024: A Memorable Hybrid Gathering
On Wednesday, 13 November 2024, we proudly hosted our first hybrid Winter Meeting -a landmark event for the WIDD Network. With attendees joining us both online and in-person, the day exceeded all expectations and left us inspired for the year ahead.
Our lineup of brilliant speakers delivered engaging and thought-provoking sessions on a variety of key topics:
Leadership Insights: Rebecca Vickers shared strategies for senior leaders to foster inclusive and resilient teams.
Generative AI in Design: Judit Szekeres explored how AI can spark creativity while addressing ethical considerations.
Data Privacy & Ethical Marketing: David Galea discussed evolving data laws and building customer trust.
Career Growth Strategies: Hannah Zora Strong provided actionable advice for entry-level professionals in 2025.
The day also featured a dynamic Fireside Chat on shaping emerging trends in 2025 and integrating Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) principles into future campaigns, led by Kinga Stabryla, Zeenat Ahmed-Peto, Sarah Lane, and Samreen McGregor.
We are incredibly grateful to our headline sponsor, Tide, and partners Value, Timcom, and others for their generous support.
Thank you to the 41 online attendees, 26 in-person participants, and representatives from 22 companies across 9 countries who joined us to make the event truly special.
