Truly honoured to be invited to speak at the @creativewomen__ Forum in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia (one of only three men invited to speak among around a hundred female speakers, I’m told), hosted by the Creative Women platform - a truly extraordinary international organisation founded by Olga Balakleets with the patronage of Princess Nourah Bint Abdulrahman University.

The Creative Women Platform supports growth, development, and partnerships for women internationally, providing a network for collaboration and inspirational presentations to expand understanding. Such an impressive organisation with noble purpose and huge impact.

This is my first visit to Riyadh - I hope the first of many.

I could not be more thrilled to be contributing to the Creative Women Annual Forum, hosted at the House of Commons this week - starting tomorrow!

Creative Women is an extraordinary organisation, advocating for women in all aspect of the creative world, in business, science, technology and even philosophy.

Few organisations bring together such a wealth of talent, expertise and wisdom to share with industry newcomers and the many different independent professional women contributing to every industry, and leading the way with creative vision, around the world.

As a long-time supporter of equality and, importantly, of the harmonious collaboration that is possible between individuals from every demographic, I am proud to be speaking at this forum.

I will be interviewing the incredibly creative visionary filmmaker, Martha Fiennes, to hear her views on creative inspiration and positive ways for women to collaborate on projects.

I'm also speaking on a panel entitled, 'The Power of Creative Expression: Shaping Culture, Identity & Influence' in the company of Marine Tanguy - Founder of MTArtAgency, Gabriella di Laccio - Founder of Donne Foundation, Alexa Jago - President New Horizon Pictures, Amira Fouad - Creative Women Platform Chair in UAE, Adam Morse - Award-winning Filmmaker, and Leanne Elliott Young - CEO of the Institute of Digital Fashion.

I will also be speaking about who will be our future leaders, as AI becomes increasingly influential and balanced representation becomes a critical ingredient in the make-up of intelligent automated systems, in my presentation, 'Will AI lead us into the Future?'.

In-between giving presentations at NAB this year I was interviewed by the rather fantastic @LarryJordanFCP - we explore a huge range of topics - here's the edited version:

Continuing the series of clips posted elsewhere - a little while ago I presented a series of classes for actors who wanted to improve their naturalistic performances for film and TV, as a collaboration with Dirk Vandereyken at @badass_pr.

This is a snippit on the way mirror neurons allow us to experience the feelings of others.

On my way to Davos to speak about AI, Creativity, and universal communication, along with the meaning of the word ‘Why’ and ways we can work together thanks to clarity in our communication, the restoration of trust in integrity (which can only be earned by demonstration), and collective action beyond borders, cultures, languages, and demographics.

Will you be there? Let’s meet in Davos.

[Maxim Jago @MaximJago]

I am immensely proud to be speaking today at 2.20pm CET at Abraham House in Davos during the WEF.
The panel and presentation will be live streamed for free here - https://t.co/e69AoMaLpp

I will be sharing ideas around universal communication - signs and signals that are universal, bridging borders, cultures and languages, then presenting an overview of key developments and future expectations for our relationship with Artificial Intelligence and Artificial Super Intelligence.
