Ask HN: Interest in launching your own mini-TED conference?
Hey - I'm Yongho, part of the TEDx team of TED Conferences. If you are familiar with TEDtalks and the TED conference, TEDx is a program for hosting your own local TED-like events. (more at http://www.ted.com/tedx) HN is a community of entrepreneurs and innovators, but I'm curious - how familiar are you with the TEDx program? Have you heard about it? Have you attended a TEDx event? What have you heard about them?
What questions do you have about TEDx (whether or not you are a host)? Feel free to ask questions. I feel HN is the right community to ask these questions to and I really value your feedback!
- eavc 16y agoI have heard of it, and I'm interested in it. I'd love to see an event in Atlanta.
- eavc 16y agoHmm, I see now that someone's got one happening in Atlanta this coming Tuesday. Thanks for the quick turnaround. ;)
- eavc 16y agoI will add, though, that I just submitted my information to be invited as there is a wait-list. The topic of the event is education, and I am exploring a career in educational psychology. Any help in gaining admission would be appreciated as it would be especially valuable to me at this point in my career.
- YonghoShin 16y agoI'd like to help out, but admission is up to the local organizers.
- YonghoShin 16y agoHow did you hear about it?
- eavc 16y agoI have a friend who spoke at an event in Croatia. Also, I think I discovered it even prior to that through some video or another that someone in my network shared.
- madmaze 16y agoId be very interested, I wonder if there is already someone in the Boston/Cambridge area doing something like this.
- YonghoShin 16y agoTEDxCambridge launches in 3 days. :) http://www.tedxcambridge.com/blog/ http://www.tedxcambridge.com/blog/
- ig1 16y agoI went to TEDxCam and it was a good experience. I think one problem with the TEDx conferences is finding out about them, I only found out about it by word-of-mouth. It would be nice if I could go to some website and subscribe for notifications of say TEDx events occurring in the UK.
- YonghoShin 16y agoWe list all TEDx events at http://www.ted.com/pages/view?id=348 http://www.ted.com/pages/view?id=348 But I see what you mean about auto-notification. If you could sign up with an account for TED.com, input your current location, and automatically receive updates from nearby TEDx events, would you use it?
- ig1 16y agoDefinitely
