Herb Kim
Conference Curator in England, UK
Native New Yorker living it up in Northern England. I am the Founder of the Thinking Digital Conference in Newcastle, the Bright Ideas Gathering in Durham as well as TEDxManchester, TEDxNewcastle & TEDxLiverpool.
In short I love discovering the creative people innovating across multiple fields such as technology, digital media, sciences, arts, economics, entrepreneurship, social enterprise and so on.
I then present our team's research via one of our ‘thought leadership’ style conferences. I work with our speakers to make sure their talks are a big success. My coaching practice focuses primarily on the talk content. How do we take your remarkable achievements, work or personal story and make it both highly accessible & impactful.
I am also the former David Goldman Visiting Professor of Innovation & Enterprise at Newcastle University Business School, a Trustee for the Sage Gateshead Music Centre. By chance, I helped create the Bulletproof Coffee brand on a flight to San Francisco. Proud Dad to a daughter entering her early adult years.
