Theme: Imagine + Nation
Innovative ways to build this nation. Jaime and Gene (the guys I keep on talking about) and three more are organizing this. It’s time to put our heads together. Jaime kept on emailing TED asking them for permission to host a TEDx (x = independently hosted) and when he got it sometime last year, we all started working on this excitedly. Gene called up awesome awesome people and 5 speakers have confirmed. Dada got some sponsors to shoulder the cost (TED is nonprofit = so it’s free) and a team is ready to roll out this February 17. (I’m just the web guy! These guys did all the heavy lifting)
This January and February, we’re having TALKS instead of just feeding programs. We need thinkers to come together and Imagine things for our nation, and map out ways to carry these things out. It’s ok to have questions. What’s not ok is to act like the status quo is good enough. Ask questions. It’s the first step to finding answers… and that’s what TED is all about.
