Thursday 5 November 2026 · The Old Palace, Hatfield House
MyPholyo Playground.
One hundred multi-income earners in one room at The Old Palace, Hatfield House: founders who advise, executives who sit on boards, consultants who invest and creators who run companies. They are already living the way work is going, and on 5 November they meet each other.
On stage
Who you will hear from.
People who earn in several ways at once, talking to a room that does the same.
June Angelides MBE
Co-Founder & CEO, MyPholyo · Venture Partner, Samos Investments · Board Director
June has been earning in more than one way for years, as a venture partner, board director, founder and mother of three. She named the way she was already working, gave it a language, and built the infrastructure it never had.
She welcomes the room, joins the morning panel on routes to a multi-income career and takes MyPholyo live on stage after lunch. Everything in between belongs to the room.

Your hosts
Adrienne Adhami
Wellness expert, brand strategist and writer · host, Modern Wellness Podcast
Adrienne has worked as a wellness consultant for global brands including Range Rover and Virgin Atlantic, delivers keynotes and events around the world, and has been featured in British Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar and SheerLuxe. She is the author of two books and hosts the Modern Wellness Podcast, so her own working life already looks a lot like a Pholyo.
David Savage
Group Technology Evangelist, Harvey Nash · host, Tech Talks
David is the voice behind Tech Talks, which has published more than 1,000 episodes since 2015 and regularly appears in Apple’s technology podcast charts. He is also a film-maker, with seven Tech Flix documentaries screened at tech festivals worldwide, and an experienced conference chair who has hosted stages at Web Summit, SXSW London and London Tech Week.
Oliver Cummings
CEO, Nurole · host of Enter the Boardroom
Enter the Boardroom steps out of the studio: Oliver records a live episode in front of the room, with Professor Kerensa Jennings as his guest and questions from the floor, on what board careers look like when working lives go portfolio. The room he records in front of is the room the show is about.
Professor Kerensa Jennings FRSA
Board adviser and executive coach · former Group Director, Data Platforms, BT
Kerensa advises boards and coaches chief executives across critical national infrastructure, real estate, maritime, agentic AI, data, education and retail, after a career that took in BT as Group Director of Data Platforms, the BBC as Head of Strategic Delivery, and a Royal social enterprise at Buckingham Palace that she ran as chief executive. She is a trustee of the Sir John Soane Museum, co-hosts the AI series of The Tech Leaders Podcast, and wrote the bestselling thriller Seas of Snow. Her Pholyo is about as wide as they get.
Mark Evans
Former MD, Marketing & Digital, Direct Line Group
One of the UK's most decorated marketers: Marketing Society Leader of the Year and Campaign's Power 100 Hall of Fame. Now a portfolio career in motion: trustee of Cancer Research UK, chair of the School of Marketing, founder of Sprintathon. Exactly the shape of working life this room is building.
Jimmy McLoughlin OBE
Host, Jimmy's Jobs of the Future · founder, Boxlight
Jimmy was the Prime Minister's Business Director at Number 10 from 2016 to 2019, and took an OBE in 2024 for services to business and entrepreneurship. He now hosts Jimmy's Jobs of the Future, which draws more than 100,000 listeners a month, runs the creative studio Boxlight, and sits on the King's Awards for Enterprise advisory panel. He joins Mark Evans and June on the morning panel, Routes to a multi-income career.
Maria Josife
Head of European Fintech, Erevena
She runs Casting yourself for the boardroom, the session on getting your first board role, which is the question this room asks more than any other. Erevena places leaders and board members across Europe's fastest growing technology companies, so she sees from the inside what gets someone onto a board and what keeps them off one.
Nadeem Shabir
CTO, MyPholyo
With June Angelides MBE, Nadeem takes the real product, with real member data, live in the room: the moment MyPholyo goes fully live, on stage, in the room and in every guest's hands.
Steven James
Partner, Pillsbury
Steven specialises in intellectual property disputes and advises companies on protecting, commercialising and managing their IP, with a focus on emerging technologies. He is recognised by Legal 500 UK, WTR 1000 and IAM Patent 1000, was named in The Lawyer’s Hot 100 in 2025, and is a Solicitor-Advocate. On stage at 14:00 he presents Whose idea is it anyway?, IP essentials for founders, fractionals and creators.
Sarah Melaney
Partner, Pillsbury
Sarah advises high-growth companies and their investors on funding rounds, scale-ups, exits and governance, and often acts as general counsel to the businesses she works with. She is recognised by Legal 500 UK and Chambers UK for venture capital and sits on the advisory board of FutureWorldVC. She runs the Legal Clinic with her Pillsbury colleagues.
Laura Fox
Founder, The LinkedIn Fox
LinkedIn has turned from a recruitment site into one of the most powerful tools a multi-income earner has, and Laura is the person people call when they want it working for them. She takes the main stage for LinkedIn visibility for a portfolio career, a live workshop on how to be found by the right people, for the right work, without turning yourself into a content machine.
Janine Chamberlin
Global VP, Strategic Accounts & Country Manager, UK, LinkedIn
Janine leads LinkedIn's UK business and its strategic accounts globally, and is also a board advisor. Her background is in talent and the future of work, and she takes the main stage at 16:00 with Skills over titles, ahead of the closing conversation.
Stacey Duguid
Founder, Her Encore · In conversation with June Angelides MBE
The day closes with The bravery to be more, June Angelides MBE in conversation with Stacey Duguid, before the room moves to drinks and networking. Our Founding Ambassadors are in the room all day. Stage time is curated, never sold.
The day
Thursday 5 November, nine to six.
A playground is where you try things before you commit, learn by doing, and find the other people doing it too. So the day is built around doing.
- Map your Pholyo at the door and leave with your archetype: Architect, Catalyst, Pioneer or Curator.
- Meet the people you should know: someone who could hire you, someone you could hire, someone who has solved the problem you are facing.
- Watch MyPholyo go live on stage, in the room and in your hands.
- Leave with something useful the same week: what your time is worth, a LinkedIn profile you know what to do with, and a lawyer's answer to the question you have been putting off.
- Every ticket includes a free Legal Clinic session with our headline partner, Pillsbury: fifteen minutes one to one with a Pillsbury lawyer on venture capital, fundraising or intellectual property. Slots are limited, so sessions are booked in advance and we email every ticket holder their booking link Upper Solar
- Professional headshots and an optional filmed story Lower Solar
- Co-working and hot-desking space with good wifi Downstairs
- Our Founding Ambassadors, in the room all day
