Speakers Wanted for ‘TEDxHickory 2019’ Hickory
HICKORY — A group of local volunteers are planning the seventh year of TEDxHickory, a full-day event to be held November 23 at the The Belk Centrum at Lenoir-Rhyne University. The independently organized event — TEDxHickory — is licensed by TED and will feature a combination of live speakers and TED Talk videos.
TEDx Hickory is looking for speakers to present at this coming year’s event, under the theme “Connect,” as expressed in the quotation from Fyodor Dostoevski, “A disturbance in one place is felt at the other end of the world,” and exemplified in iconic images from philosophies, religions, literature, and popular culture from around the world: Celtic Knots, Hindu Mandalas, the Ripple Effect, the Web of Life, 6 Degrees of Connection, Buddhism’s Eternal Knot.
Apply through Sept. 22 at TEDxhickory.com. Presentations will be chosen based on how well they fit the vision of TEDx and the variety of the presentations for the day.
