TED comes to Concordia

Although independently organized, the conference is licensed by TED, an international non-profit that publishes its talks for free at TED.com.

At TEDxConcordia, a dozen speakers will be given 18 minutes to present the talk of their life in a riveting, one-day immersive experience.

TEDxConcordia will be happening  on February 12, 2011, in the DB Clarke Theatre, Henry F. Hall Building (1455 De Maisonneuve Blvd., W.).

A few speaker spots are still open: apply online at TEDxConcordia.
