TEDx Comes to Anchorage!
If you’re looking for something fun, unusual and inspiring to do today (Saturday), check out the TEDx event happening in Anchorage. The schedule of speakers is HERE, and it looks to be an eclectic mix of music, poetry, technology, science, creativity, and social change. Who could ask for more?
The day starts at 10am in the Sidney Lawrence Theatre in the Alaska Center for the Performing Arts downtown, and runs through the reception at 5:00.
Are you thinking, “What the heck is ‘TED’?” Check out the website and learn about the yearly event, and its Anchorage offshoot.
8 AM ….. ??!! Aren’t these people artists – ?
OK – their schedule says 10 AM – man, I was worried!! what is the world coming to when artists get out of bed for a 8 AM event on a Saturday. Also, unless I misunderstood the info on the page – no seats left – sniff. Still worth a try – night all!!
Jack Dalton is great… but apparently there aren’t seats left. Maybe go to the event anyway?
Jill Bolte Taylor’s speech is an AMAZING story. Very moving and a must see. TED is a great site. I’ve been linking to speeches for about ten months now.
i am a long-time avid TED fan. I encourage everyone to visit http://www.ted.com and listen to as many of the wonderful talks that you can. many are riviting.
This is the first that I’ve ever heard of TED, but it looks like it’s been around since the early 1980s. Sounds interesting. And in looking at the schedule – did I read that right? Bill Gates and Bill Clinton in the afternoon sessions? Cool.
