TEDxBloomingtonLive presents

Join us for a live stream of TED2019 Vancouver! The conference costs thousands of dollars to attend, but we are bringing you the TED Talks live from Vancouver for free! Come in to watch a few on your lunch break, between classes, or after work!

“When it is dark enough, you can see the stars.” ― Ralph Waldo Emerson

The political and technological turmoil of the past few years has had unexpected consequences: it’s causing us to ask bigger, deeper, more challenging questions. Like … where is this heading? What really matters? Is there more I should be doing? For TED in 2019, we’re joining that search for deeper meaning.

We’ll be exploring technologies that evoke wonder and tantalize with superhuman powers, mind-bending science that will drive the future as significantly as any politician, the design of cities and other powerful human systems that shape our lives, awe-inspiring, mind-expanding creativity and most of all, the inspiring possibilities that happen when we ask what ideas are truly worth fighting for, worth living for.

On Saturday, April 20th from 10am to 7pm at the Monroe County Convention Center, 302 S. College in Bloomington, will be RetroVisions: Democratizing Scarf Art, an exhibit and benefit sale organized by the Unitarian Universalist Church’s International Outreach Task Force to raise funds for the Ndethya Projects in Kenya, two AIDS orphanages, including a school and a women’s cooperative. High fashion at low prices!  Cash or check please.
