Lauren deLisa Coleman has become a leading voice in Future Media. In the past 20 years, Lauren has become a successful tech-media entrepreneur, journalist, author, and professional speaker. A graduate of Columbia University, Lauren started her first company not long after her tenure at MTV Networks. Over a successful 10-year period, Lauren created Punch Media, which had offices in New York, Los Angeles, and Paris, France.

Her book, “Rise of the Smartpower Class,” was selected as one of Amazon’s Best New Media studies when it was first released. The book’s most recent update, “America’s Most Wanted: How to Quad Decode And Trend Forecast” has achieved critical acclaim. Lauren has captured editorial merit with her perspective on innovation for outlets from Forbes to CNBC.com. As an international keynote, she has spoken at such companies as Nokia and the Nasdaq Foundation. She has appeared on MSNBC and Cheddar.

Currently she is developing an AI-driven media with Web3 component concept as she runs her strategy company, Lnk Agency and is completing her study at Harvard Business School.
