I can’t explain to you how honored and ecstatic we are to be part of TEDxGoldstar and the ideas worth spreading initiative! There are so many intriguing presenters that I’m looking forward to – in particular, Bill Gates and Morgan Spurlock…as well as the chance to meet local innovative, thought leaders to share ideas with.

Counting down the days to this interactive experience and celebration of individuals coming together for the ultimate day of mind stimulation!

We are so excited to be involved with TEDxGoldstar and could not be more thrilled about the opportunity to join L.A.’s “best” for a day packed with idea incubation, creative thought sharing, and like-minded networking.  The platform that TED provides is not only innovative and provocative, but I believe necessary to the cycle of creation to consumption.  Can’t wait for March 2nd!

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 make our ideas better. What a great sounding board we will have!

I work in social media, which means constantly communicating with a lot of people, but online. So I am looking forward some face-to-face time with creative, forward-thinking people. This is what inspires me.
