For posterity, check out my profile on the TEDx Ahmedabad website (bottom of the page). Really need to start writing that presentation…

In Ocptober I’ll be speaking at the TEDx conference in Ahmedabad, India. Problem is, our presentation need to be absolutely amazing as if it is it may well end up being viewed on the internet over a million times. TED is a well renowned brand in the ‘ideas’ field, and just appearing on it is a good achievement. Good isn’t good enough though, we want it to be fantastic. Many thought-leaders watch TED talks and they are widely discussed on the internet and in print media. Put on a good show, and we might find ourselves engaging with some very interesting people.

To prepare for it, we’re going to hold a conference of our own in London on the 11th of September. That way I’ll get the opportunity to practice my speech in front of a large audience before hand. It will also give us some more exposure in the UK and, combined with the TEDx talk, will act as the beginning out of journey into an increasingly vocal and advocative role in the world of rural development and education.
