BSME's lunch with Dame Anna Wintour DBE

The BSME hosted a special lunch this week with fashion and magazine legend, Dame Anna Wintour, who has been at the helm of Vogue for 35 years and is now Conde Nast’s Global Chief Content Officer and global editorial director, Vogue.

BSME members and special guests packed the elegant Mirror Room at Rosewood London, in Holborn, to hear from Anna on digital transformation, how to stay relevant in the age of AI and the importance of trust.

She advised that while magazine brands earn trust over decades, we can lose it overnight in the fast-moving digital age, if we stray from our founding principles. Build trust with readers, demonstrate your commitment to it and your audience will repay you in the long run. Hard-earned human expertise will always beat algorithmic short cuts, Wintour told assembled guests over a truly unforgettable lunch.
