Creative Fuel in Sydney on August 6 will feature the chief creative officer from Google, a lecturer from the Standford d.School in America and the creative director from WIRED magazine.
Ms Collins, also known as Poncho Army, owns and operates Anchors Aweigh Art Studio in Wollongong.
"I had no idea who else was presenting when I was asked to be involved," Collins said.
"I was taken back a bit when I realised there were so many massive names participating from some pretty major companies."
Other speakers are Andrew Evans from IDEO and Vin Farrell from Havas Worldwide and Graeme Simsion, author of The Rosie Project.
Although the Wollongong artist doesn't work for any globally acclaimed organisations, she has enjoyed her fair share of achievements.
Collins was named one of the top-10 street artists in Australia by ArtsHub, was the 2012-13 resident artist at Wollongong Art Gallery, is a five-time finalist in the Stencil Art Prize and the National Gallery of Australia archives her work.
During her 30-minute Creative Fuel presentation at the Seymour Centre, Collins will be discussing The Artist Introvert versus The Business Person Extrovert.
■Collins has three tickets to the Creative Fuel conference and cocktail party, worth $965 each, to give away.
