Software and pluralism, the trajectory of modern energy industries, and dynamic theatre on the run.

These are just a few of the things that our first batch of speakers — Hussein Charania, Peter Tertzakian, and Melanie Jones — will give us insights on as part of TEDxCalgary's first main event of 2013, Energy: Full Spectrum on May 11, 2013.

"We always have fun developing the theme for a TEDxCalgary event, and playing with the various ideas that flow from it" says event curator and licence holder Rahim Sajan. "Energy: Full Spectrum gives us the ability to cross many frontiers and disciplines when we think about how energy surrounds us in all its various forms... creatively in terms of how we can use it as a basis for theatre, literally in terms of how we think about the future scope of our energy use and production, and structurally in terms of how we can harness human ideas to make changes in our society."
