TED is coming to somerville - March 4, 2012
As many of you know, TEDxSomerville is coming to the Armory on Sunday, March 4th.
The event idea stems from a more nationally known set of TED Talks/videos, which have grown in popularity over the years. TEDx events are more local in nature so this event will center around Somerville and those things that make our city a wonderful place to live. It should be a wonderful event.
The theme this year is "Creative Economy...Sustainable Community" and our speakers (primarily local individuals) will give talks, ranging from 3-24 minutes, throughout the day related to this topic.
Official website: TEDxSomerville
Quick video on what TEDx is: Here is a 4-minute video produced by TED that showcases the remarkable work of TEDx organizers from around the world. It helps give you an understanding of what the events are made of and the powerful messages that often results.
If you are interested in attending, you must apply in advance! You can do so here.
If you know others who may be interested, PLEASE FORWARD this email along. The goal is to sell the 300 tickets to local community members first, before it's opened up to Cambridge/Boston. However, there will be some regional email blasts sent out next week, so now is the time to get your name in.
Hey...no pressure, take a peak at the website. I am REALLY looking forward to this event - it should prove to be an amazing day.
Local innovative thinkers/speakers, cuisine, musicians, and artists...all rolled into one event - how can you go wrong?!
