Julia Ebner is best known for exposing how conspiracy networks, and hostile actors exploit digital platforms to influence behaviour, destabilise institutions, and erode trust at scale. As a leading researcher and author, she has spent years investigating extremist ecosystems from the inside, mapping how narratives spread,  and how online dynamics translate into real-world harm.

Julia examines how disinformation, polarisation, and identity-based narratives are engineered, amplified, and normalised through platform design, algorithmic incentives, and social fragmentation. She helps leaders understand why these threats cannot be treated as fringe issues, but as strategic risks affecting organisations, societies, and democratic resilience.

Her talks are composed, analytical, and evidence-driven. They focus on how leaders identify early warning signs, assess influence operations, and respond responsibly to threats that move faster than regulation and traditional risk frameworks.
