    • Meet @nelsonaomi from Brooklyn, New York! 🇺🇸 Before coming to Stockholm she was working on film sets in NYC and before that, studied a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Film & TV at @nyuniversity. Below she shares her thoughts on Berghs’ Advanced Portfolio Program: ◼ Can you share a little bit about your background and why you applied for the Advanced Program? I was working on film sets in New York City, and I kept meeting really cool art directors who worked at ad agencies. I never considered advertising as something that I would enjoy but after talking to these creatives I started to think it’s just a bunch of really funny artistic people who work for brands. And I wanted to work with them!  ◼ What’s been the most valuable thing you’ve learned so far at Berghs?  Berghs really helped me to understand creative strategy. It’s really clear to me looking at my work before the program versus my portfolio now that I didn’t have a clear strategy with a lot of my ideas.  ◼ How does studying communication in Sweden different from studying in your country of origin? Sweden really loves simple and minimalistic design, and I think in the States we tend to lean into a more chaotic range of design. So it was a really good challenge to try to reel in my chaos to make it as simple as possible.  ◼ What’s something you wish you’d known before starting at Berghs?  Even though most people in Stockholm can speak English, it’ll be worth every bit of Swedish you can learn!

    • Unconference speaker: Julia Wysokowsky, Dipl.-Psychologin, Psychologische Psychotherapeutin (TP) Topic: The Human Blind Spot: Why better AI doesn’t automatically mean better decisions Why should we come and listen to your talk?
AI can give us more information, more options and better analysis, but that doesn’t automatically make us better decision-makers. In The Human Blind Spot, I’ll bring a psychodynamic perspective to the human side of decision-making: how assumptions, pressure and relational dynamics can quietly shape what we see and what we choose, and how we can make some of those blind spots more visible by looking at ourselves more closely. What are you curious about in the other talks/workshops that you want to explore? I’m really curious about 100 Ideas in 3 Seconds. None of Them Are Any Good because it sounds like the perfect AI-age problem: endless possibilities, but which ones are actually worth anything? I’m also looking forward to Design for Contribution: AI Adoption That Sticks and AI & Future of Work in Customer Experience. I’m especially interested in what happens when AI meets real people, real teams and real work, because that’s usually where things get interesting.

    • Unconference speaker: Esh Loh, Founder of Yoga Sphere Workshop: Can Our Consciousness Keep Up With Our Technology? Why should we attend your workshop? Beneath our climate, social and technological crises may lie a deeper one, a crisis of attention and consciousness. AI can process information for us, but it cannot decide what deserves our attention or become present on our behalf. In this workshop, we explore a collective resonance experience and an invitation to ask a defining question of the AI era: Can we become more conscious, and what does it mean to be human? What are you curious about in the other talks/workshops that you want to explore? I’m especially curious about how other speakers are approaching the human side of AI, not just what it can automate, but what it asks of us. Ava de Pol’s talk on AI and the future of work in customer experience looks particularly interesting to me, since customer experience is ultimately about presence and connection, the same territory my workshop explores from an embodied angle. I’d love to see where the more strategic, business focused conversations meet the deeper questions about attention, meaning and what stays uniquely human as our tools get smarter.

    • Unconference speaker: @mikejohnotto Creative Director, Brand Consultant and visual Artist. Talk: Narrative Experiences in the Age of AI. How Art- and culture-driven creativity can work also with AI. Why should we come and listen to your talk? Because we are entering a moment where creating images has never been easier, but creating images that actually stay with us is becoming harder. My talk looks at the power of the image in the age of AI, and at how we can build narrative experiences that create emotion, curiosity and memory rather than simply more content. I’ll share how I combine strategic thinking, visual storytelling and artistic practice to create worlds people want to enter, explore and remember. What are you curious about in the other talks/workshops that you want to explore? I’m curious about how others are responding to the same fundamental shift from very different perspectives. What happens to creativity when tools, processes and possibilities change this quickly? I’m especially interested in where people see new forms of authorship interaction and storytelling emerging and what might become possible when we stop treating AI simply as a production tool. For me one of the most interesting shifts is how it allows us to explore more possibilities much earlier in a project compare different directions quickly and make more informed creative choices before committing to one path.
