TNW Conference 2021 is just a couple of weeks away, and we’re beyond excited! It’ll have all the essentials of a great tech festival: gorgeous venue, amazing parties, and ideas that will change how you think about sex.

Wait, what?

Sex might not sound like a normal topic for tech conference, but our amazing line-up of speakers will show you how new technology can help fight for women’s sexual freedom and sex positivity.

Here are the four tech founders you’ll see at TNW2021 who will change the way you think about sex.

Jennifer Lyon Bell, Founder & Creative Director at Blue Artichoke Films

“Sex is a force for unique self-expression, and for connection with the rest of humanity.”

With Blue Artichoke Films, Jennifer Lyon Bell creates award-winning erotic fiction movies, documentaries, and virtual reality experiences that portray the riveting, intimate, and sometimes delightfully awkward side of sex.

Her work shows that sex is a giant, beautiful, strange, messy, fascinating, fun, and thrilling force of nature. She encourages people to feel confident enough to trust their own desires and wants everyone to know that there’s nothing wrong with sexual pleasure.

Ti Chang, Co-founder and VP of Design at Crave

Having designed the first ever line of sex toy jewelry, Ti Chang as been a leading voice in bringing modern adult toys into the mainstream.

Her award-winning designs often provoke thoughtful conversations about pleasure and sexuality, and allow women to be able to enjoy their pleasure on their own terms.

The company also works on projects that create, instigate, and inspire conversation around pleasure. By funding these projects, Crave hopes to tackle some of most pressing forms of gender-based violence, including FGM and sex trafficking.

Together with Crave co-founder, Michael Topolovac, Ti took things to the next level when she started the CRAVE Foundation For Women in 2012. This foundation provides no-strings-attached grants to local and international individuals that help realize a world where pleasure is a universal human right.

Ela Darling, Marketing Director at ViRo Playspace

Perhaps best known for being the world’s first virtual reality camgirl, Ela Darling is a strong advocate of sexual safety, sex positivity, and freedom of self expression, sexual exploration, and self discovery.

She currently works as marketing director at ViRo Playspace, a sex-positive online platform where users can explore their adult-themed fantasies through the power of VR.

The platform guarantees safety, anonymity, and non-judgment, and is home to immersive experiences for a wide variety of kinks, like BDSM, furry, and others.

They’re also offering a range of innovative sex-tech that stay in perfect sync with what you see on screen — allowing the user to touch and be touched, live, from anywhere in the world, while in the comfort of their own home.

Suki Dunham, Founder of OhMiBod

Widely known as an OG of the sex-tech revolution, Suki Dunham is the award-winning creative genius behind the iPod Vibrator (a music-driven vibrator), blueMotion (a Bluetooth enabled vibrator), and Lovelife Rev (a lightweight massager for those with dexterity challenges).

As the founder of OhMiBod, she is a driving force behind the evolution of teledildonics and other interactive technology for sexual health and wellness.

The company recently became the first in the world to develop a mobile app that can control vibrators remotely, allowing partners to connect and control one another’s pleasure products from anywhere in the world.
