TEDxRochester 2010
Over the past year I’ve noticed that there are other groups and events like BarCamp around Rochester that bring together the best minds from around the area. Between Interlock Rochester, the different programming groups, the lightning talks, and other events, great ideas are emerging everywhere.
This past year, some of the BarCamp hosts attended the inaugural TEDxRochester.
“At TEDx events, unique talks given by live speakers combine with TEDTalks videos to spark deep conversation and connections. TEDx events are fully planned and coordinated independently, on a community-by-community basis” .
The day was filled with 12 nominated speakers who talked about technology, entertainment, design, or their own innovative ideas to help the community. Breaks occurred during the day, allowing attendees to mingle with a good representation of the Rochester social networking crowd.
TEDxRochester returns this year, and BarCamp is a proud partner. Last week, we met two of the organizers over coffee and agreed to promote each other’s event. We also got a sneak peek of some of the speakers for the upcoming event, who will be discussing how to help the residents of the Rochester community and beyond. We are ecstatic about this opportunity to work with TEDxRochester, and want to encourage all of you to come as well.
TEDxRochester 2010 will take place on Monday, November 1st at Geva Theater from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. In order to attend the event you have to sign up on their website (http://tedxrochester.com/) before registration closes on October 15th. Several of the BarCamp hosts have already registered and are eagerly awaiting the date. We hope to see you there!
