Carson City’s own Ideas Worth Spreading featured in TedxCarson City Friday
The third year of TedxCarson City brought discussions to the community, by the community, ranging in topics from exploring new sounds in classical music traditions, to computer hacking, to ending the cycle of poverty, and many more.
Hosted at the Brewery Arts Center, seventeen speakers participated in three sessions of Ted Talks beginning at 9:30 am. If you were unable to make it to the event, you can watch their talks recorded live by clicking this link: https://youtu.be/KWN9A8ejdfE
According to the event, “TedxCarson City is an all day event where engaging speakers from a variety of disciplines share their life’s work, passions, and concepts through thought-provoking and entertaining talks that run no longer than 18 minutes in length. The event combines live talks, TED talk videos, and opportunities to network and discover unexpected connections and ultimately build community.”
The event is put on by a dedicated team of unpaid volunteers, and was sponsored by Carson Tahoe Health, Farmer’s Insurance, the Nevada Division of Tourism, Gold Dust West, the Carson City Culture and Tourism Authority, Nature’s Bakery, and Expresso Yourself Cafe.
“Being a TEDx speaker is not an easy task,” said Gina Lopez Hill. “You prepare for months and you put your ideas and yourself out there for the world to judge and that judgement is not always kind. We strive to create a platform for open dialogue and courageous conversation.”
