Computer Science and Engineering department,
Do you think you might have an interesting story or an innovative idea? As luck would have it, you may have an opportunity to share it! The University of Washington is hosting the annual TEDx event on May 3rd, an independently held event associated with TED. Our theme this year is “Transcend with TED”, and we are in the process of selecting featured speakers for the event: incredible individuals who are changing the way we think, feel, and act around a specific topic. TEDx is searching far and wide in the UW, Seattle, and greater Washington community for the Pacific Northwest’s most innovative, creative, and original minds. We’re looking for inspirational people with powerful messages to share, and we absolutely believe it could be you.
Due to the vast ingenuity of TEDx speaker applicants, we will be holding interviews near the end of this search to finalize our speakers. This can be somewhat of a competitive process, but TEDx would be thrilled and honored if you joined us for an interview! Please consider collaborating with us in promoting TED’s vision of spreading transformative and positive ideas across the world.
If you think you might be interested, please send a brief pitch to Michelle Auster at tedxuofw@uw.edu introducing yourself and your ‘idea worth spreading.’ Please send your response by March 13th. Or, if you know someone you believe would make a great candidate, please forward this email along. Students, faculty and professionals alike are encouraged to apply. Any questions you have may also be directed to this email. Even if it is only an inkling of an idea, we want to hear what you have to say!
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Michelle Auster
