Albert Read
Imagination in the Age of Technology
Imagination is our supreme gift, our biggest opportunity, our greatest source of fulfilment and our most vital asset for the future. Drawing on a career spent at the intersection of business and creativity, Albert joins us to discuss the critical role the imagination will play in our future.
Albert has spent his career working at the intersection of business and creativity, overseeing the lifestyle publisher as Managing Director of Condé Nast in the UK, Asia and Europe. His first book, The Imagination Muscle, published by Little Brown in 2023, was described by The Economist as ‘a beautifully written meditation … a moving hymn to creativity’ and by The Spectator as ‘super sharp…brimming with big ideas. An extraordinary book.’ He studied Classics at New College and has an MBA from INSEAD.
