me at ted! posted 22 December 2009
I will be speaking at the TED conference in Long Beach, California; Feb 9–13, 2010.
If you don’t know about TED, then I guess you don’t know what an honour this is. And if you do know TED, then you can imagine how extremely, extremely chuffed I am to be presenting there!
I’m on on Friday the 12th, a few hours after Bill Gates and about an hour before Sarah Silverman! Of course, I’m surrounded on all sides by some of the biggest brains in a variety of disciplines. Scientists, behaviourists, chefs, singers (David Byrne! Andrew Bird!), writers, physicians, philosophers, entrepreneurs, activists, architects, mathematicians, and me! And more!
I’ll be immediately preceded by Temple Grandin, an autism activist, and followed by Denis Dutton, who wrote the book The Art Instinct which has been sitting on my pile of unread books for half a year. And I’m really looking forward to hearing Sir Ken Robinson speak on Saturday.
Can you attend? Well, no … unfortunately, even at $6,000 a pop, it’s been sold out for months! But in the few months after the conference, they’ll post videos from the conference and you can see me then. Provided I don’t blow it, I guess. :)
