Booking Me to Speak in the UK

A quick note for those interested in having me speak at their company, conference, school, university, in the UK: I am now represented by the JLA speakers agency in London and can be booked directly through them. Here is my profile: http://www.jla.co.uk/conference-speakers/daniel-tammet

Speaking at TED2011

I've just returned from a week in Long Beach, California, where I was invited to speak at the annual TED event. It was a wonderful experience and amazing to meet such inspiring people and share my own thoughts and ideas with a large and diverse public.

TED talks generally last no longer than 18 minutes, and my session's time limit was shorter still: a maximum of 12 minutes. Worried as I was as I prepared my remarks in the days and weeks beforehand, I actually came in nicely under the set limit with a whole ninety seconds to spare!

Beautiful weather on the West Coast of course, and delicious seafood too. Definitely worth the jet lag!
