Keynote and Delegates

Keynote speaker

Family and Friends to the future of Democracy: Social Media in the 21st Century

Having joined California tech platforms before they came of age, Elizabeth will share a first-hand tour de force of the moments social media got serious and the ways in which our world today is still grappling with defining a new social contract amongst government, the private sector and the citizenry.

Elizabeth Linder

Throughout her entire career to date, Elizabeth Linder has never held a position with an existing job description. She currently serves as the Chief Diplomatic Officer at Adarga AI, a British-based artificial intelligence company at the forefront of defence tech innovation for national security, where she leads the long-term Allies First strategy for global coalition-building on geostrategic cooperation at the government, industry, and philanthropic levels.

A California native based in London, Elizabeth has physically worked in 57 countries advising parliamentarians, royal households, and civil society leaders on the intersection of technology and government in both developed and emerging markets. She serves as the co-Chair of the St. James’s Roundtable at Chatham House; the Director of the Kinross House Meetings in Scotland; and the Founder & CEO of Brooch Associates, a modern diplomacy advisory firm led entirely by women. Elizabeth is on the Programme Committee at Ditchley Park, the Board of D Group, and the Board of Medicines for Malaria Venture, the Gates-founded organization tasked with eradicating malaria.

Following her graduation from Princeton, Elizabeth started her career at Google in California, where she focused on the “coming of age” of YouTube immediately following Google’s acquisition of the company just as user-generated content first splashed onto the national scene in the United States. In 2008, Facebook recruited Elizabeth to join its two-person International Communications team, during a time when the company had no policy or communications representatives outside of the United States. She opened the company’s first office in India, ushered in a growing suite of languages – including Latin – to the platform, and scaled up Facebook’s global communications and policy team.

Referred to as Facebook’s first “secretary of state,” Elizabeth founded and built the Politics & Government division in Europe, the Middle East & Africa from the company’s growing offices in London. By the time Elizabeth stepped down from Facebook following her eight-year tenure, she had been at the company longer than 99.2% of employees.

Elizabeth passed the Wine & Spirits Education Trust Levels II and III exam with Distinction and has led seminars on American history and wine for Berry Brothers & Rudd, London’s oldest wine merchant.
