Seven ideas from Anthropy 2026
First impressions: a gorgeous setting and… is that a man flying through the air? Running from the coffee queue to catch sight of said man and said jet pack with a crowd of fellow attendees, phones out and jaws on the floor.
The man? Richard Browning.
The tech? Gravity Industries.
And somehow those first 20 minutes set the tone for the whole event.
Anthropy is unlike any other event on the sustainability circuit, and here are seven ideas that stood out and stuck.
1 - Risk is the fuel of innovation, failure is the fuel of innovation - Richard Browning
Risk and failure sound like two scary words, but this flips the view on what they mean and it turns out, they are pretty essential to growth.
2 - There is a competitive advantage to behaving ethically - Pablo Lloyd
Doing work the way it should be done, and turns out it is better for business as well - wins all around.
3 - Work should be fun - Simon Blackler
This is one that we can all get on board with, and a reminder to enjoy the process as well as the destination.
4 - Let’s keep walking together - Juan Carlos Jintiach
A beautiful reminder to keep each other close and to build relationships alongside businesses.
5 - Creativity flourishes when there is a condition - Nozomi Koseki
This one was about reframing, the greatest ideas and opportunities can come from feelings and places of restriction.
6 - No trees, no seas - Carl Rowlinson (Plant One)
A film, an idea, a campaign - magic.
7 - Stop blustering - Richard Browning
Of course, now let’s get to it.
