Big Thinkers to Share at TEDxDetroit
Wednesday, September 22, 2010 at 9:48AM | Becks Davis TEDxDetroit is an independently organized event inspired by the national TED conference, which focuses on technology, entertainment, and design.
From the TEDxDetroit website:
The area's leading creators, catalysts, entrepreneurs, artists, technologists, designers, scientists, thinkers and doers will gather on Wednesday, September 29th to share what they are most passionate about — positive ideas for the world from Detroit.
Last year, I was excited yet shocked to attend TEDxDetroit. Shocked that they let me in and stoked that they wanted me at their event.
What a difference a year makes! This year, I’m working behind the scenes on TEDxDetroit and I think it’s going to be an amazing day. The conference is being presented by Wayne State University and will take place at the Detroit Film Theatre at the Detroit Institute of Arts.
This years lineup of speakers include Erik Proulx, creator of two documentaries, Lemonade and Lemonade: Detroit; Rick DeVos, the founder of ArtPrize; and Kami Pothukuchi, director of Seed Wayne at Wayne State University.
