This month, Bold Insight Managing Partner Gavin Lew will present at Nivan, a new innovation conference exploring AI, UX, and technology across the past, present, and future. Structured as a full-day journey through three eras of innovation, the event brings together thinkers and builders from across disciplines for keynotes, creative debates, lightning talks, and workshops.

Lew will deliver Lightning talk: the present, exploring how the choices organizations and practitioners make with AI today will define what comes next across industries. His talk is part of the midday program, which examines the decisions currently shaping products, platforms, and human experiences.

“We’re at a moment where the decisions feel small, but the consequences are large,” said Lew. “The choices we make now about how we integrate AI into our research and design processes aren’t just operational, they’re setting the terms for what innovation looks like in five years.”

Bold Insight is a proud sponsor and partner of Nivan. Attending? Connect with Gavin and the Bold Insight team to discuss the latest in AI and UX research.

Nivan will take place on Thursday, May 21, 2026, from 9 am–5 pm at the Institute of Design at Illinois Tech in Chicago. Visit the event website to register and learn more.
