TEDx Calgary: ENGAGE: Deeply [2020]
March 28, 2020 @ 10:00 am - 5:00 pm
Started in 2009, TEDxCalgary has been holding annual events since our first “Humanity 3.0: Leadership the World Needs Now” event in April 2010. In 2019/20, we are engaging Calgary in a year-long series of intimate salon events, intriguing community adventures, TEDxLive webstream events, and our regular main annual event in March, 2020. All with an interesting twist to celebrate our tenth year of operating!
TEDxCalgary is about cultivating a garden of ideas that helps to engage and empower Calgarians. We want to move the needle for how great ideas can further transform an already great city. We value the personal connections that come with more intimate and regular events, and the conversations that these events stimulate year-round.
Within the TEDx licencing system, TEDxCalgary is classified as a 100+ attendee standard licence, with additional licences to hold Salon-style events througout the year.
