KEYNOTE: In conversation with Emma Grede: It’s time to start with yourself

17 Oct 2026
Main Stage
Emma Grede is often one step ahead, whether it’s launching a business in a category no one realised was so valuable, saying out loud what everyone else was quietly thinking, or knowing exactly what it takes to get a deal over the line. Her tenacity, insight, and drive have made her a household name, and taken SKIMS, Good American, and her own media platform to global scale. This conversation brings the honesty Emma is known for to dive into: how to see yourself clearly enough to know what actually needs to change, the employee mentality that holds so many people back, and why hard work is still the foundation everything else is built on. Emma Grede is the blueprint for success, and this conversation is where she breaks it all down.
