Expert Open’s TEDxNavesink 2015
We are proud to present the TEDxNavesink 2015: Accelerators. The event will take place on Saturday April 11 at Monmouth University, West Long Branch, New Jersey.
An accelerator is:
1. A device for increasing speed.
2. A substance that increases the speed of a reaction.
3. A person or thing that accelerates.
Accelerators are change agents. They provide the fuel for which ideas and products are evolved or created, poking holes in knowledge and memes in a memorable way.
TEDxNavesink: Accelerators will offer two dozen live talks and entertainment showcasing people and ideas that are speeding up innovation and forging our tomorrow. How will technology impact our lives? Will there be “smart contact lenses” that enable us to see and get information at the same time? What’s the future of education? Will nanotechnology enable us to live longer, healthier lives? How will we play in the coming decades?
Join us as we explore how today’s Accelerators are shaping our emerging and upcoming future.
