I was featured on Slideshare.net today and Dianavcarrico left me a tweet…
Hi Ian, just saw your featured slideshare presentation and I hope you’re doing fine right now! Inspiring for sure! *
Great to know its still inspiring people… Can’t wait for the TedXManchester Video, because I’ll certainly be sharing it with my family and friends. I’ve also been asked to maybe do it again at another event, so look out for the same but less tears…
As previously mentioned… I’m thrilled to be talking at TedXManchester after masterminding the very first one in BBC Manchester over 2 years ago. Unfortunately the event sold out months ago and the idea of opening up more space so people could watch, wasn’t possible.
However, I’m happy to say there will be a live web stream on the day and you can watch it from the comfort of your own machine.
Hello Manchester TEDsters,
We’re happy to announce the detais of the webcast for TEDxManchester. The webcast starts at 1pm this Monday, 13 Feb.
You will find it at.. http://www.TEDxManchester.com/live.htm Our event hash tag is #TEDxMCR for all your social chatter.
What exactly I’ll be talking about is still a secret but if you look at the last two times I’ve spoken this month it might help.
I can tell you its going to be highly personal and I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about this one. You won’t want to miss it as its going to have people talking for a long time afterwards hopefully. The slide above is from the presentation by the way…
I’m presenting in the 2nd half of TedXManchester after 1530 with,
- David Erasmus
- Tara Shears
- Brendan Dawes
While at 1300,
- Mary Anne-Hobbs
- Tom Bloxham
- Dan O’Hara
- Someone still to be confirmed (wondering if they can beat the Astronaut at TedxSalford)
I’m humbled to announce I’ve been asked to talk at TedXManchester…
The first TEDxManchester took place in 2009 at the BBC’s New Broadcasting House on Oxford Road. We took over the historic Studio 7 and converted the BBC Philharmonic’s rehearsal space into a conference venue and created what was then Europe’s largest ever TEDx event.
This year we’re collaborating with our friends at Cornerhouse to bring you the long overdue second edition of TEDxManchester. We hope you find it a stimulating day of full of inspiring ideas, new connections and a lot of enjoyment. We look forward to hosting the growing community of Manchester TEDsters soon.
Its been 3 years since TEDxManchester at BBC Oxford Road which I masterminded. I did wonder why there hasn’t been another TEDxManchester since? Maybe because we really hit a high on the last one? Who knows?
Well the Cornerhouse has picked up the baton and seem to have a great line up of diverse speakers. Unfortunately its already sold out, so either you got a ticket or not. If you have then good on you and look forward to a very different kind of talk than I usually give.
I posted a slide above which might give you an idea (or not) of what I’m going to talk about. I’m pretty proud of my talk and hopefully it will really connect with people.
Chrissy Hammond said this on twitter which really humbled me…
Well last time I heard you speak it was riveting and your enthusiasm was infectious. I can’t believe this would be otherwise.
