3 min readMar 6, 2024

After speaking about AI and the future of work at TEDxBrighton 2022, I’m thrilled to announce my return as the host for TEDxBrighton 2024!

My previous talk, which was so controversial it was banned for 6 months, you can now find on YouTube, The Future Of Work Is Not What You THINK….

This talk, originally slightly more political in places, delved into the unexpected directions the future of work might take. And has been proven to be spookily accurate. Much to the chagrin of those looking to ban it…

I guess if I am a tech futurist — I should be able to tell the future of tech.

Time to host it.

This year, I’m stepping up to host, promising an event filled with groundbreaking ideas and innovative solutions.

Don’t miss out, get your tickets to come to the Brighton Dome on Friday 5th April for an amazing day — from 9am — 5pm.

This year, TEDxBrighton challenges us to shift our focus and change the world by paying attention to what truly matters. With a lineup of speakers who are set to surprise and inspire, including Simon Squibb, Hady Milani, Bud Johnston, Gayle Berry, and many more, we’re diving into topics far from ordinary.
