You can book Ayd directly, or one of the speaker agents that represent him. If you normally work with a booking agent, feel free to contact them and request Ayd by name. We pay agents a commission out of our own fees, so there is no difference in the price you pay.

Ayd has standard rates for his appearances and services but is also able to do a number of events each year at a discount, usually for selected charities, schools and non-profit associations. Ayd’s talks are all about being creative and inventive. He is often open to interesting ideas on value exchanges.

To book Ayd, email him directly at ayd@aydinstone.com or call +44(0)1865 779944
