Tickets are on sale now at tedxchathamkent.com.
“After last year’s success, the pressure was on to create an event that would be just as engaging and inspiring … and I think we’ve done just that,” said TEDx CK organizer John Lyons. “We have an incredibly diverse line-up this year including adventurer Jennifer Pate, who led an all female sailing crew on an expedition across the Atlantic, Jason Hall, whose Slow Roll Detroit was featured in a recent Apple iPad commercial, and personal finance blogger Kerry Taylor, a.k.a. the Squawkfox.”
“This year’s line-up is amazing,” addedFannie Vavoulis, TEDx CK organizer. “We put a call out for speakers and were blown away by the calibre of applicants. We are so proud of this year’s line up and know people will really find the day enjoyable and inspiring.”
This year’s theme is Food for Thought.
“We wanted an obvious nod to what makes Chatham-Kent strong, our agricultural base,” said organizer Peter Martin. “But just like Chatham-Kent, TEDx CK is much more than ag, so Food for Thought is meant to inspire us all to think bigger, on a local and global scale.”
TEDx Chatham-Kent is slated for Thursday, April 23rd from 9:00 am – 6:00 pm at the John D. Bradley Convention Centre in Chatham.
The full schedule and speaker line-up can be found online at tedxchathamkent.com.
About TEDx
TEDx was created in the spirit of TED’s (Technology, Entertainment, Design) mission, “ideas worth spreading.” The program is designed to give communities, organizations and individuals the opportunity to stimulate dialogue through TED-like experiences at the local level.
At TEDx events a combination of live presenters and TEDTalks videos sparks deep conversation and connections. TEDx events are fully planned and coordinated independently, on a community-by-community basis.
