TEDxRainier 2015 is a one-day event on Nov. 21 at McCaw Hall in Seattle that brings together top thinkers to share ideas with our local audience. Speakers from around the Northwest will deliver talks that challenge, move and inspire.
In the spirit of TED’s mission, “Ideas Worth Spreading,” TEDxRainier offers a TED-style event at the local level. Attendees come from a wide range of disciplines, ages and backgrounds, and share a bond of curiosity and desire to make a difference.
Guided by this year’s theme, “Space Between,” spend the day exploring what lies between what is and what might be. Speakers will explore inspiration and implementation, cause and effect, the intergalactic and the intercellular, the past, the present and futures unknown.
The daylong program provides a focus and impetus for conversation and inspiration. The meetings and discussions that happen during breaks and at meals are a part of what makes this event so special. This year a special emphasis is on audience participation and interaction, creating opportunities for conversation among participants.
