TEDxRainier in photos. Because I am still processing all the amazing words...
TEDxRainier took place on 10.10.10, one of the handful of independently organized TEDx happening around the globe that day. If you're not familiar with TED, take a look at what they are doing. For me, it is becoming a cultural phenomenon you can't miss!
I won't be talking about the talks here. The words I heard at this event are still coming down and I am still waiting to digested them. It was a wonderful event. Even though is started slightly late, it stuck to the schedule very well, an the speakers packed great talks and emotions on their time slots. Most of the talks were powerful, meaninful, provoking and some even moving. A few were more on the "advertising" side, but, hey, you must let your sponsor spread the word about their products, right? (I confess I'm intrigued by the Volunteer Phone!)
The environment was a key theme that was brought into several of the talks. Water, as part of this concern, showed up regularly in the presentations.
Overall, it was the place to be on 10.10.10. I left inspired and moved, and thankful that I was able to participate in such a versatile get together.
Here are some images of the event. The mood is very palpable by looking at the speakers' photographs. Enjoy!
