About TEDxUniversityofNevada
Now in its fourth year, the next TEDxUniversityofNevada event will take place Saturday, Jan. 23 at the Pioneer Center for Performing Arts Theater.
For those who aren’t familiar with TEDx, the TEDx program is designed to help communities, organizations and individuals to spark conversation. As an event, TEDxUniversityofNevada, has collectively generated almost 9 million online views of its talks even though each year’s in-person audience was limited to just 250. Through a change of venue this year, event organizers in the University’s College of Business decided to move the event to bring the University out into the community with the goal of idea inspiring a broader local audience.
This premier event is sponsored by the University’s Executive MBA Program; The Associated Students of the University of Nevada; Microsoft Licensing; AT&T; The University of Nevada, Reno and Peppermill Reno. The 2016 program will feature an impressive lineup of individuals including speakers who will appeal to marketers like UNLV marketing professor Anjala Krishen, best-selling author David Burkus who wrote “The Myth of Creativity,” and local startup founder Dusty Wanderlich.
More info on all of the 2016 speakers, including a link to purchase tickets, is available at the TEDxUniversityofNevada website.
