WE THINK OUR MIDDLE NAME IS CURIOSITY... AND FUN!

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!

Every team needs an organized core, and Marcel is our project manager extraordinaire.

In true superhero fashion, by day he runs his own consultancy, MySimplifyCoach, and by night he wrangles us into some sort of order. You'll always see his ready smile and laugh at our various community salon meetups, and he'll be the guy taking care of the details at our main events and team meetings.
