TED and its many TEDx conferences around the world have been inspiring people for decades, and with the advent of web broadcast technology, it's only gotten bigger and better. But while there have been people from all over the arts involved and occasionally some talk about the arts industry, this is our chance to spread ideas to take the arts industry and kick it up a notch.
We'll be invading Symphony Center in Chicago on May 7th for an intense all-day event TEDx. We hope to gather speakers not just from the arts, but from those that see the arts as an essential part of life and business and have a stake in our success. We'll come together to answer the essential question: How do you transform one of the oldest industries in the world into the central vehicle of culture that it is meant to be?
Stay tuned in the next day or two for a call for speaker proposals.
