The Angus Millar Lecture 2025

The Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh

22 October 2025 – 07:00 - 08:00pm

The 2025 Angus Millar Lecture welcomes Dr. Jo Salter MBE to our Edinburgh stage. Jo is Britain’s first female fast-jet pilot and later transformative leader specialising in generative AI. Jo will address the importance of The Power of Connection in 2025, examining how trust, collaboration and innovation must be harnessed to build resilience and lasting change, in the fragmented world we see today.

The evening will be opened by the RSA’s Chair Sir Loyd Grossman. This year’s event will be hosted at the Royal College of Physicians in Edinburgh and livestreamed to audiences across the globe on YouTube.

Jo has been recognised as one of the Top 50 Most Inspirational Women in the World by Harpers & Queen, and her pioneering career in the RAF has made her a trailblazer for women in leadership. Today, Jo leads on people-driven transformation for companies like PwC and is a sought-after speaker on leadership, resilience and the impact of new technologies.

The Angus Millar Lecture is a hero event in the annual RSA Fellows programme in Scotland and is funded through the legacy of Angus Millar FRSA.
