Tuesday General Session Keynote Speaker

Malcolm Gladwell
Best-Selling Author of Blink, The Tipping Point and Outliers

Gladwell speaks at the 2010 AFP Annual Conference

Malcolm Gladwell has an incomparable gift for interpreting new ideas in the social sciences and making them understandable, practical and valuable to business and general audiences alike. He's become so successful at this that, in 2005, Time Magazine named Malcolm one of its 100 Most Influential People.

Malcolm is a staff writer for The New Yorker magazine and has three New York Times #1 bestsellers, Outliers, The Tipping Point and Blink. His editor describes his work as a new genre of story, an idea-driven narrative that's focused on the everyday and combines research with material that's more personal, social and historical. He now has another bestseller, What the Dog Saw, a compilation of essays from his writings in The New Yorker.
