Kids With Ideas
What are your thoughts about teens today? Have you seen how they dress? Have you watched them use phones, tv, computers, games and eat all at the same time? Generally the youth of today get a bad rap. Well let me tell you not to lose hope. I had a chance to talk to 4 [...]
The TEDxZU file
I have been a part of many TEDx events since 2009. I co-curated the 1st TEDxDubai with Giorgio Ungania in 2009, an amazingly HUGE event right out of the blocks. Then I found my home in events that are youth and education centered. Education centered in that they are organized by schools. TEDxAbuDhabiU was my [...]
A very cool TEDx
There are a lot of TEDx events taking place these days, things have sure come a long way from 2009 when Giorgio Ungania and myself organized the 1st TEDxDubai. Big, small, local, regional, ethnic, artistic the question that people are asking is what makes a great TEDx? Unlike many things size does matter. It is [...]
Cool Idea!
We all go to conferences, a significant investment of time for sure, but do we have any measure of the value of the conference to others? Not usually. Sure we do a survey here and there but do we have any other way to figure out what impact the conference or meeting is having on [...]
Today TEDxZU Was Launched!
Well today was a special day, TEDxZU was launched. Since 2009 I have been a curator or co-curator of 3 different TEDx events, spoken at a TEDx event and helped mentor 2 events. After my last TEDx, TEDxAbuDhabiU which was excellent, I went back to the drawing board. Actually I asked myself why [...]
TEDx Global Music Project
TED is cool. TEDx is cool. And a few TEDsters got together and asked what happens to the original music that comes out of TEDx events? Of course that indie music just went up into the ether. Well now there is the TEDx Global Music Project. I love this project because it is all about [...]
Talking to TED, well people who have been…
I have been really fortunate to have been to 2 TED events, one in 2009 and the other in 2011. TED in Long Beach was great but it was TEDActive in Palm Springs that blew my mind. One of my passions has been to talk to as many TEDsters on the radio, I host a [...]
TEDxAbuDhabiU Continues
TEDx events are a curious thing. What I have come to learn, and love, is that once you start a TEDx event rolling it is very difficult to get out of the way and jump free of the momentum. TEDxAbuDhabiU happened April 23, 2011 but it is far from over. Sure the speakers, organizers and [...]
A Cool TEDx Idea!
As you know I have been involved in TEDx activities since 2009 and TEDxDubai. Since my first TEDx I have been scratching my head a bit as I try to figure out, for myself, what the ultimate TEDx is. I am not sure that an ultimate TEDx has anything to do with size. I am [...]
Easier Said than Done
We, and I do mean we, just wrapped up TEDxAbuDhabiU. I have been part of several TEDx events as a speaker and as an organizer and this last TEDx event is the one I am most proud of. Why? I feel that TEDxAbuDhabiU was as close as you can get to the TED mindset. The [...]
