Humane Tech London Meetup #2

Join us for another night of entertaining talks and lively discussions about how we make technology work better for us.

Talks range from ethical considerations and the digital attention crisis to building humane tech products and individual digital wellbeing.

Our speakers, passionate about the direction technology is headed, are...

Ferly is a social impact company focused on radically transforming society's relationship with sex. Prior to starting Ferly, Anna was 1 of 55 accepted to Zinc VC's first mission. Having completed her PhD at the University of Oxford in 2018, she believes in taking a participatory approach to research and science. This, combined with her earlier advocacy work in Honduras, Canada, and South Africa has fuelled her obsession with using human-centred design to solve real world problems. Outside of being a sex scientist? Anna's a climber, typography geek, and a sub-par origamist.
