TEDxGoldstar with Popchips? Yes, please!
Marni Landes, Social Media and Community Manager, Goldstar; Blogger at www.happygomarni.com @happygomarni I have to give a big Thank You to Jim McCarthy, our CEO, because he’s the reason I am a TED fan. A couple of years ago, when he first started following TED (and by the way, he’s a super-gung-ho TEDster today), he got the entire company’s ears to perk up as he shared interesting tidbits he...

TEDxGoldstar - A Multi-Level Experience
Charity C. Tran, Digital Strategist, Civic Resource Group; Editor/Blogger, www.ExperienceLA.com, @experiencela I believe that the Internet is more than just connections. It’s a place of bridges that cross over the disparate and the similar, revealing the world to be smaller than you think and greater than you can imagine at the same time. Events like TED bring these pathways to the forefront,...

TEDxGoldstar - Bringing It!
Jim McCarthy, CEO Goldstar, www.goldstar.com @goldstarjim
I admit it. I’m responsible for all this madness. I started going to the TED conference back in 2008, and I’m an addict, but I like to think it’s one of those addictions that is actually good for you, rather than the ones that cause you to break into your neighbors houses and steal their TVs. Under Chris Anderson’s leadership, TED has...

Goldstar’s Tommy on TED
Tommy King, Director of Communication at Goldstar @1TommyKing www.goldstar.com I have been really fortunate to be able to dive head first into TED this year - and have it be part of my job! It started out just watching the TED videos online, but once I started meeting other “TEDsters” face to face, it really clicked. Watching TED speakers and presenters in a shared environment and then...

Adam Mefford Interview – Ahhh, TED
Adam Mefford, Founder, Currency TED is like a spa for the brain. I believe the benefit in platforms like TED for leaders in business is the opportunity to refine their concepts and make their vision clear to audiences who are unfamiliar with their subject. Being clear is the first step to being effective, and we all need practice. As far as TEDxGoldstar is concerned, I’d like to meet one new...

Gretchen Schneider, talkTECH Communications @gretawells http://buzzrocketblog.com, www.isawjesusinla.com
It’s extremely important for innovators and thought leaders to have a platform - such as TEDxGoldstar - to share ideas. Even attending a small tweet up allows me to think and operate in a more well-rounded manner. So something on this scale really does a lot to shape how we think and...
