Ideas worth spreading
It's official: TEDx Houston will get a Round Two in 2011
Have you heard the word? TEDx Houston 2011 is on like Donkey Kong!
Yes, TEDx Houston — our local, independently-organized installment of the mega-braniac conference, TED — will return for a second edition.
That's all we know so far — that it's happening. Additional details are still under wraps, no matter how hard we've poked, prodded, begged and pleaded.
But mark June 11 on your calendar, at the very least. If the ideas at last year's inaugural TEDx Houston conference kept CultureMap columnist Nancy Wozny "up most of the night," we can only imagine what this year has in store.
In the nail-biting meantime, wet your whistle with low-income sustainable housing designer and builder Dan Phillips' TEDx talk from last year's conference. He will make you giggle, but more TED-ly, he will blow your mind.
