Our Community - TEDx

http://i2.wp.com/www.alaskacommons.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/tedxanchorage-cover.jpg

KNBA keeping you in tuned with Our Community! In today's segment, Danny Preston speaks with co-chair of the TEDx planning committee, Claire Ross, along with Julie Nolan and Corey Hester. TED started 30 years ago in California and it's had some powerful people speak at the event, including Bill Gates, Jane Goodall, Elizabeth Gilbert and many more. From that, spinoff's were created, consisting of locations and/or communities. Each speaker has 18 minutes, which they have to be able to speak in the purest form possible in order to connect with the audience. 2015's theme is: Energize Alaska, industry story and power. The event is free and will be this Saturday! There will also be a live stream for the event on the TEDx Facebook page.  For more information, visit: https://www.facebook.com/TEDxAnchorage
