The Lavin Agency



What is the Lavin Agency and how can I work with them?

The Lavin Agency is the world’s largest intellectual talent agency, representing leading thinkers for speaking engagements, personal appearances and beyond. We work with the Lavin Agency in two ways:

  1. The Lavin Agency officially represents a growing number of Fellows.

  2. Any Fellow who would like to be profiled and highlighted in a special section on the Lavin website has the opportunity to do so, even if they are not fully represented by the agency. This is a way for Fellows who don't have speaking agents to have online presence and affiliation with a great agency. 

Next Steps:

If you would like to speak with someone at Lavin, you can email Charles Yao (cyao@thelavinagency.com) directly, or email fellows@ted.com and we can connect you.

If you’d like to be included on the TED Fellows Lavin page, please email Charles Yao introducing yourself and send him the following:

  1. A high resolution headshot

  2. A short bio (no more than 200 words)

  3. A personal statement from you, in your own words, about why you do what you do, what problem you're addressing, and what change you hope to enact. (Roughly 50 words). They will run this as a direct quote, to introduce people to your work.  

  4. Video of a TED Talk, keynote or a video that features your work
