5th Annual TEDxAmoskeagMillyard Talks set for Nov. 14

MANCHESTER, NH – Be inspired when the 5th Annual TEDxAmoskeagMillyard event releases the power of positive energy Nov. 14 at Southern New Hampshire University.

This year’s theme is “Evolve,” brought to you by a dozen average human beings with a collective of extraordinary experiences and stories to share.

You’ve heard of TED Talks video and live speakers (for technology, education and design), which are devoted to “Ideas worth spreading,” a way of sparking discussion and encouraging connection.

This is a local spin on that same big idea – only local, self-organized events that are branded TEDx, where  the x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized by a team of vibrant southern NH individuals. This fall’s daylong event, held at Southern New Hampshire University, features 12 diverse speakers, including:

• 

  Nadia Alawa, mother and humanitarian aid activist

• Trent Bell, photographer and artist
• Brittany Bergquist, young philanthropist and nonprofit founder
• Marty Boldin, addiction scientist and community activist
• Anneliese Clark, mother and medical cannabis advocate
• Daniel Faggella, tech CEO, author and speaker

• 

  Rick Fiery, serial entrepreneur and champion of non-traditional business owners

• Cara Griffith, traumatic brain injury survivor and advocate
• Katiti Kironde, designer and humanitarian
• Conrad Mandsager, global social service leader and mentor
• Leaf Seligman, writer, teacher and minister
• Steve Zanella, designer, writer and mindfulness advocate

Tickets may be purchased at TEDxAM15. Your ticket provides you with access to the all-day live event featuring all speakers and performers, along with lunch, a swag bag and the option to attend a networking event following the event. There are a limited number of tickets available, and the event is anticipated to sell out quickly.
