TEDxBuffalo recently announced that they would be holding the TEDxBUffalo "Igniting Ideas in Buffalo" conference at the First Presbyterian Church of Buffalo on April 7, 2011.
The conference will feature 18 to 20 speakers who have experience in the areas of urban development and revitalization, education, technology and art. These individuals will share their ideas and encourage group discussion on how to revitalize the city. The conference will also feature TEDTalks video to encourage discussion of ideas and prospective solutions.
"With community involvement and active participation from the city's residents, we can rebuild the East Side, bring new employment opportunities to the city and create a sustainable infrastructure for our future and future generations," said TEDxBuffalo license holder Susan Cope. "Change starts with you."
TEDxBuffalo is an independent, local event that is licensed by the TED organization. Although the TED organization provides guidance to subgroups such as this one in Buffalo, the event is organized and hosted entirely by the local, independent group. Speakers at this year's conference include author and biologist Andrew Hessel, who is an advocate for open source biology, and Clark Dever, a rogue technologist, photographer and social engineer who recognizes technology as a tool for new ideas and solutions.
TED is a nonprofit organization that unites the realms of technology, entertainment and design with the general goal of generating and sharing "Ideas Worth Spreading." TED began 25 years ago with a four-day conference in California that has now spread worldwide. Talks from TED conferences are available online at TED.com and include speeches from figures such as Al Gore, Jane Goodall, Bill Gates and many more.
TED continues to host their annual conference every year in Long Beach, California, as well as their global conference in Oxford, UK. The organization also gives the TED Prize every year to particular individuals who want to put their ideas into action.
More information on attendees and speakers at TEDxBUffalo will be available soon on their website. For more information, visit www.tedxbuffalo.com or the Facebook page. Those interested in speaking, sponsoring or volunteer at TEDxBUffalo can call 716.575.5887 or email susan@susanlynncope.com.

rogue technologist? god, spare us.
Actually, Clark Dever (rogue technologist in question here) consulted on a large project for me this year. It's a very good title, actually.
