Humans go first: Creating connection in the age of AI

Future You
Lisa James
Founder & CEO

Lisa James is the founder of The Wentworth Collective, a creative agency that designs events where people don’t just meet, they truly connect. With 30 years of experience crafting experiences for global brands, she’s witnessed the energy, emotion and magic that only happens when people are in the same room.


When the world shifted online in 2020, Lisa adapted. But it only affirmed what she knew all along: nothing beats being together.

In a world that often chooses convenience over depth, she makes a case for substance. “Innovation matters,” she says, “but not at the cost of what makes us feel alive".
