TEDxPhoenix

TEDxPhoenix – Nov 6, 2009 6:00pm-9:00pm

I’m going to this event, and I think you should, too. I’m a fan of TED talks and have even helped organize a TED talk viewing party. TEDx is even better, because it mixes TED talk videos with live presentations from local individuals who have ideas worth spreading.

To explain the event a little more thoroughly, I’m going to re-post some info Tomas Carrillo (lead organizer for TEDxPhoenix and all-around awesome dude) has been sending out to local bloggers:

I’ve been in the trenches for the last few weeks putting the finishing touches on Arizona’s first ever TEDxPhoenix event which is scheduled to take place this Friday, November 6th from 6pm to 9pm at the Mesa Arts Center.

For those of you who aren’t familiar with TEDxPhoenix, it’s been described as a Cirque du Soleil for the mind. Our inaugural event will feature six of Arizona’s leading experts brought together to enlighten, inspire, and entertain via ideas worth spreading. For fans of the environment and sustainability, we are excited to announce that Urban Farm founder and sustainability guru, Greg Peterson, will be speaking at the event.

TEDxPhoenix is also a place where you can meet individuals who are interested in leveraging ideas, technology, education, and design to help create a better future for the Phoenix-metro communities and beyond. For more information about the event, I highly recommend checking out our TEDxPhoenix Beginners Guide.

I really hope you will join us this Friday, and here are all the event details for your viewing pleasure:
