NewsNow accepting participant applications!
Apply to participate in TEDxCalgary on Thursday, April 29th!
Our participant application process is now open! The application process will be open until we have our 100 participants, but we will start issuing confirmations as of March 21st, so that people can fix the date in their calendars. Apply early, as attendance is limited to 100 invited participants.
Go to the [ Participate page ] for more details, and to complete the application form.
Why apply?
We are looking for 100 participants... people who will be actively engaged in sharing powerful ideas with one another, and with our speakers. In asking you to apply, our request is only that you demonstrate your willingness to be that type of participant. Share an idea with us that you truly believe is worth spreading, and we'd like to have you in the room with us on April 29th.
The application process is a long-standing feature of TED/TEDx events, and our own version of it is considerably streamlined. If you want to talk to us about your application, or if you have questions about the process, please contact us using our main contact form, or by phone at 403.537.0454 (if we're not able to answer directly, please leave a message)
We're on Alberta Primetime!
February 19, 2010 - Representatives from the TEDxCalgary and TEDxYYC event teams did a joint interview today with CTV's Alberta Primetime, discussing our respective TEDx events and the overall trend of interest across the province. We very appreciate the support of the show's entire production team, and thank them for their efforts in helping to make the interview happen.
The show airs tonight at 7 p.m. (our segment is scheduled to run somewhere around 7:20) on Alberta Primetime, and will be rebroadcasted again at 11 p.m. tonight, and at 11 a.m. on Monday, February 22nd. We will post a link to the interview segment on the Alberta Primetime website when it is available.
Watch the show on Access TV across Alberta (channel 9 in Edmonton, 13 in Calgary) and on satellite (Shaw Direct: channel 351 and Express Vu: channel 267), and visit the Alberta Primetime website for more news and events:
TEDxCalgary Theme Launch!
TEDxCalgary is very pleased to launch our event theme, titled Humanity 3.0: Leadership the World Needs Now.
The event theme is a deliberate answer to the TED2010 theme of "What the World Needs Now". At a time of increasingly complex challenges and seemingly unresolvable issues, TEDxCalgary is an opportunity to take stock of the leadership assets we have at hand and think about what types of leadership — from all sectors of society — we need going forward.
TEDxCalgary coming in April 2010!
Our organizing committee is hard at work, getting set to bring our TEDx event to Calgary in 2010. We're excited to be part of a growing movement of TEDx events globally, with April 2010 promising to be one of the busiest months ever for TEDx program events.
Watch the video celebrating the achievements of TEDx events to date, and keep your calender open for the TEDxCalgary event!
