Ta-da! TEDx!
I’m dedicating this week’s blog post to the amazing 2020 TEDxBoise speakers.
This group signed on for a six-month effort to build the talk of their lives. That was back in October 2019.
Well, we all know what happened next… COVID.
In March 2020 we postponed the event and plotted a course toward a 2021 event with the same crew. And then we had an opportunity to get our speakers on stage in the fall, thanks to the generous folks at the Idaho Shakespeare Festival. So this resilient crew readied themselves to deliver their talks with just a few weeks of notice.
We are–at long last–ready to share their talks with you.
There are a wide variety of subjects represented in this cohort. I recommend you click through to the TEDxBoise site to read the descriptions and find the ones you’d most enjoy. But if you want to watch the whole thing through (as if you’d been at the event), you can find a playlist here.
I saw firsthand how hard each of these speakers worked on their talks. They didn’t have the benefit of a 400-person audience to help them launch their talks into the world so perhaps you’d be willing to share the ones you enjoyed with your own networks?
Enjoy!
Reclaimed: TEDxBoise 2020
In March, TEDxBoise, like so many other events, was postponed until April of 2021.
Not long ago, our board met again out of concern over the viability of having a spring 2021 event.
We decided to have our 2020 event after all. (Take that, COVID-19.)
It looked vastly different from the 400+ person event it normally is; we held it outside on the Idaho Shakespeare Festival stage with a very small (masked) audience last Saturday.
