“Media has an enormous amount of tech but what was being left behind was the people, who were trying to manage the tech” and that’s where we step in - says Karen Dewey founder of tech scale up Lumi Media.

“I had no intention, of becoming a founder. I basically had a simple idea one day and just ran with it” says Karen Dewey. Lumi Media is a digital workplace that is taking the production sector in media by storm.

In the Golden Age of content this scale up is on the forefront in assisting with the evolution of the workplace. “People didn’t know, they were looking for us” says Karen Dewey but as her brainchild soars to new heights they now do.

At today’s event Karen will explain how Lumi Media is changing the way of the workplace, her unique business model and how she and her co-founders navigated the complex start-up world.
