TEDxNavesink 2014 is SOLD OUT!
Less than one month until our fiercely anticipated all-day ideas conference, TEDxNavesink organizers are happy (and a little sad) to report that our 2014 event is sold out.
Now in its second year, TEDxNavesink, will open its doors on Saturday, May 10 from 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. at Two River Theater, for a day of non-fiction theater. The event brings together 24 leaders in sports, entertainment, business, innovation, tech, design, healing, science, psychology, community and more, to talk about one thing, from their perspective – the power of PLAY as a positive force.
This year’s presenters are mix of local and far flung thinkers, performers and doers as varied as their geography. Here are just a few:
- Augmented Asbury, bringing the old carousel back to life on your phone.
- An app master, who wants girls and boys to be able to play outside the pink and blue boxes.
- A Canadian rap artist, award-winning playwright and creator of lit-pop who’ll make his way through the history of rhyme.
- An anthropologist who digs up the story on how baseball shapes the way our cities grow.
- A tinkering little girl who became a founding engineer at Mint.com and the founder of Femgineer.com.
- A Jersey Shore artist who plays with the inexhaustible resource that is trash creating beautiful sculptures.
TEDxNavesink isn’t a lecture series, it’s an experience and it lasts all day. It’s a day of thought provoking, mind expanding talks, performances and art, all in a community of smart, forwarding thinking people. See it’s not just about what’s on stage, it’s about connecting with the thinkers in the audience, people like you who want to push their minds past the confines of the commute. This is the network you want to be a part of.
If you missed out on tickets this year, don’t fret! Every presentation will be recorded and posted on TEDxNavesink.com.
