TEDxAuckland will be here in October. Press release

Speakers in this year’s line-up include physicist, decathlete and political advisor Sean Gourley; change development specialist Paul Wood; physicist and pursuer of the Higgs boson ‘god particle’ David Krofcheck; materials and biomedical engineer Michelle Dickinson; internationally recognised architect Andrew Patterson; director of surgical research at Auckland Hospital and co-founder of medical start-up SIMTICs John Windsor; art director of Apropos and founder of the 100 Days Project Emma Rogan; CEO of Arvus Group Matthew Simmons; and dental surgeon and founder of ICARE Assil Russell.

TEDxAuckland will take place on Saturday 6 October at the ASB Theatre in the Aotea Centre. Eighteen speakers are set to take part in the full day event which will run from 10.00am until 5.30pm. A complete speaker line up will be announced in early September.

TEDxAuckland is bringing together several of New Zealand’s most interesting minds for a full day of stimulating talks, discussions and learning this October.

Tickets are now available for purchase from The Edge for $70 + booking fees.

Get in early for tickets, apparently you get better seats the earlier you book.

TEDxAuckland is proudly sponsored by Yellow®, Kordia, New Zealand Post, Sony, Powershop, Scoop Media Cartel, Digital Arts Network, Flitter and Deafradio.

Italics indicate this site’s interest – they do our advertising.

It looks like there will be a few tickets available we can probably lay our hands on. Despite some partner coercion,  Anthony in Dunedin would probably be a better decision maker about who gets them. Any ideas how we allocate them (me – is not an acceptable answer – as I told Lyn this morning)

    Love the TED presentation on wireless internet via visible light waves. Always great value for your time invested.
