TEDxChange with Melinda Gates

We hope you'll join us on September 20, 2010 to watch the live feed from NYC of TEDxChange. 

Convened by Melinda French Gates and featuring some of the world’s most inspired thinkers and doers, including TED Curator Chris Anderson.  TEDxChange marks the anniversary of the Millennium Development goals: Ten years in, where does the global community stand in the work to save and improve lives around the world? And what does the future hold?

The Seattle event will be co-hosted by the University of Washington’s Master of Communication in Digital Media program (MCDM, which held TEDxSeattle last April) in collaboration with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.  Come early for a free networking coffee and pastry breakfast.  MCDM Director Hanson Hosein will welcome participants, followed by his colleague, Anita Verna Crofts who will give a short talk entitled, “Transforming the Transaction: Food for Thought on Community Partnerships that Change the World .”  Our special guest, Bill Gates Sr. will then provide introductory remarks for TEDx Change, to what promises to be an inspiring 90 minutes of ideas about The Future We Make.
