“About TED Technology, Entertainment, Design
TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. Started as a conference in California 26 years ago, TED has grown to support those world-changing ideas with many initiatives.”
“What is TEDx? TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxManitoba, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxManitoba event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. ”
TEDx includes volunteers called ‘buddies’ that provide guidance to each speaker. It is an honour and indeed a pleasure to be part of the 2015 amazing speakers.
