To demonstrte that, we celebrate our post-event for PACE: Impact Beyond Speed with this short video shot by our main stage photographer, Scott Blasken, during the initial talk by Julien LePage. We kicked off with a dynamic shared drumming activation, demonstrating that "pace" takes many forms...
Our event would not be what it was without our amazing volunteers and our speakers...
For us, it's a rare thing to have one hard-working event photographer capture another having a moment of pure, raw, fun... that's what makes this such a delightful discovery when we were checking photo sets and saw this one of long-time volunteer and true TEDxCalgary friend Scott Blasken. He has captured more iconic images for us over the years with his masterful eye.than we can count, so our thanks to the About Love Photography team for this one!
Joining us this year as a first-time partner was About Love Photography Services, who were at our event to capture images of our Interactions Partners, participants, and volunteers!
They did an exceptional job and captured anamazing set of photos... thank you!!
It's where we started in 2010, with "Humanity 3.0: Leadership the World Needs Now" as our first event. We explored the linked themes of conflict, poverty, youth and elders at our very first TEDxCalgary event, and featured speakers like Naheed Nenshi, Nick Nissley, and many other courageous speakers who believed in what we were doing, and lent us their talents on stage.
Our main annual event for 2011, "Breaking Through: Exploring the frontiers of ideas and actions" allowed us to explore the question of "where to next?", and what types of ideas and attitudes we needed to make positive change on a number of fronts.
For our main event in 2012, "City 2.0", we joined more than 30 TEDx organizations in other cities worldwide for a simultaneous day of exploring what happens to our cities when they approach their next horizon of growth and change.
Our main annual event for 2013, "Energy: Full Spectrum" explored many interpretations of energy, from being a valuable natural resource to human body and mental energy.
