Visionary Futurist | AOL’s former Chief Evangelist | Digital Philosopher (USA)
Hall AAA | Saturday | 11:50AM
We know you love a good throwback so David “Shingy” Shing is back. Yes, that David Shing. A sharp visionary, an expert impossible to ignore, a creative effortlessly out-cooling us all. If you somehow don’t know this digital visionary, maybe these words found in Forbes can paint a good picture: “Artist, globe trotting speaker and market seeker, he is a storyteller who identifies emerging trends, and inspires clients to think differently.”
Shing is known for fusing tech, culture and creativity into something wildly original — with the kind of instinct you can’t teach. LVMH, Chanel, Nike… they call him when they want to know what’s next, which is not surprising since he helps them take ideas from “hm?” to “holy sh*t” with a cocktail of instinct, iconography and imagination. Basically, if your brand had a nervous breakdown and needed a therapist/designer/visionary in one… you’d call David Shing.
And when he gets on stage, don’t expect a keynote. Expect a perspective that makes C-suites and creatives actually think. This visionary futurist doesn’t just predict the future — he builds it, performs it, draws it and dresses better than it. If you plan to absolutely rock out DK2025, drop by Shing’s talk to get a dose of his awesome awesomeness. Trust us, you’re in for a ride.
David Shing: Nothing Changes If Nothing Changes
“Content matters — but context reigns supreme.” We're moving into an era where technology and humanity intertwine more profoundly than ever. AI is no longer just about automation; it's about meaningful conversations, authentic co-creation, and inspiring connections. In a world of sensory-rich technologies — data you can feel, intelligence you can wear — brands have an opportunity to craft genuinely artful interactions that bridge the evolving boundaries between work, play, and creativity. How can brands embrace this humanized approach to AI, fostering deeper engagement and more purposeful interactions. This session invites you to reimagine AI not as a tool for perfection, but as a catalyst for progress.
