Carson City selected for second TEDxCarsonCity event in October 2017
The TEDxCarsonCity team was awarded a license for a second TEDxCarsonCity event. Carson City’s most impassioned TEDx enthusiasts will come together once again on Friday, Oct. 13, 2017 for a day of information, inspiration, networking and dialogue around the theme "The Agora."
“The theme of the Agora was chosen because in ancient Athens, the Agora was the heart of the city — where ordinary citizens bought and sold goods, politics were discussed and ideas were passed among great minds like Aristotle and Plato”, said event organizer Gina Lopez Hill. “Our first TEDxCarsonCity was so well received we knew we had to do it again. Our speaker videos from this year’s event have had a world-wide reach and seeing how many people actually viewed the live broadcast combined with our live tickets selling out within hours was quite humbling. It surpassed all of our expectations.”
The first TEDxCarsonCity event was held April 8. Like the first event, the 2017 program will take place at Brewery Arts Center and will feature an incredible line-up of speakers on topics ranging from innovations and ideas to health to technology and the arts. Attendees will also have an opportunity to network at an on-site lunch event. For those that were unable to get live event tickets the event, we will have an onsite overflow viewing area and it will be broadcast live via Ustream on the front page of the TEDxCarsonCity website.
Ultimately, TEDxCarsonCity is an incubator for great ideas, a perfect opportunity to meet people who are doing interesting things, and a way to explore the interconnectivity that joins us.
TEDxCarsonCity is an independently produced event, operated under a license from TED, and is organized by community volunteers and is aimed at creating dialogue as well as giving people a forum to share their passions, ideas and experiences.
