MALCOLM GLADWELL Staff Writer, The New Yorker Author, The Tipping Point and Blink

Malcolm Gladwell has an incomparable gift for generating value by interpreting groundbreaking research in psychology, sociology and neurology and applying it to business. In 2005, Time Magazine named Malcolm one of its 100 Most Influential People. He is the author of two New York Times #1 bestsellers. Gladwell’s first book embedded the concept of The Tipping Point in our everyday vocabulary and gave organizations new tools for understanding how and why change happens, and how to create positive epidemics of ideas and behavior.

In Blink, Gladwell analyzes first impressions—the judgments we make unconsciously and instinctively—and he explores how we can master this important aspect of successful decision-making. SpeechTEK 2007 features cutting-edge exhibitors and an intensive conference program that showcases the best and the brightest minds in the speech technology industry - at the podium, in the exhibit hall and among the attendees!

Malcolm Gladwell is currently a staff writer for The New Yorker magazine. Previously he was a science and medicine reporter for the Washington Post and was nominated for a National Magazine Award.
