How do you cram Canada's up and coming world thinkers, doers, creators and innovators all in room? Hold a TED! TED is an annual event where great minds come together to speak about what they are most passionate about. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment and Design - all 3 subjects which are constantly evolving and advancing as we move into our future.
TEDx TO is
occurring here in Toronto, tomorrow afternoon (Thursday, September 10th). This year's theme challenges both audience members and keynote speakers as they look at "What's Next?" in our world. What new ideas, projects, technologies, and people are shaping our tomorrow? Speakers are challenged to bring only new ideas to the stage; that means no pitches and no familiar speeches.The event itself occurs in the small Theatre Passe Muraille, but because the space is limited, inquiring minds themselves had to be innovative; they created a way to share the conference's events - live webcasts airing in spaces around the city.
With 13 keynote speakers, ranging from playwrights (Waawaate Fobister - a recipient of six Dora awards) to architects (Michael McClelland - the lead architect for the AGO, ROM and Distillery District) there is something to nurture and inspire every mind!
