TEDx event coming to Coconut Grove in the Fall

Something exciting is happening at Ransom Everglades Upper School. For the first time, a TEDx event, a conference gathering the world's most brilliant people to discuss Technology, Entertainment, and Design, will be coming to Coconut Grove.

Ransom Everglades Upper School will be hosting the conference: "TEDx CoconutGrove". The event will take place on September 28, 2012 at Ransom's campus (3575 Main Highway) from noon to 9 pm.

From the website: "TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.


The theme of the Coconut Grove conference is "Square One: the power of reinvention," and this is where you come in. The Coconut Grove community is invited to apply to be speakers at the conference! I can think of quite a few Grovites who are perfect for this. If you're interested in speaking, please ask for an application by emailing 
info@tedxcoconutgrove.org.
