Four exceptional speakers to look forward to at #mtpcon London
There is only a month until our flagship event, #mtpcon London, and the lineup is starting to look exciting! Here are four amazing speakers who will be taking to the #mtpcon main stage on 20 October.
Tim Harford
Tim Harford is a world-renowned behavioural economist, award-winning Financial Times columnist, data detective and BBC broadcaster. Described as ‘Britain’s Malcolm Gladwell’ (and as a genius at telling stories that illuminate our world’ by Gladwell himself) and by the New Statesman as ‘perhaps the best popular economics writer in the world’, Tim brings storytelling, humour, and intelligence to the world of data and statistics.
A regular TED speaker, Tim regularly looks at why it’s so hard yet so important for teams to learn from mistakes, how to deal with uncertainty, how forecasting works and what to do when it doesn’t.
Tim hasn’t taken to the #mtpcon stage since 2014! Check out his last talk here. Additionally, check out his weekly column in the Financial Times.
