TEDx is Coming to Manila
TED, our inspiration behind putting up the WhyNot?Forum, is coming to Manila!
This particular event is called TEDx Manila, and is being organized by Filipino UP Professor and education advocate Rom Feria (himself a TED Fellow).
TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is call TEDx (place), where x=independently organized TED event. At our TEDx (place) event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group.
TEDxManila is going to be held on December 5, 2009, in UP Diliman’s Malcolm Hall (College of Law). For more details, especially on how to apply — check out their official website here.
Shameless plug, I’ve also been invited to speak 
Hoping to attend.
Little disappointed in having to “apply” to attend. Seems to me that removing any barriers to entry is best. I don’t appreciate having to be reviewed before someone decides I’m worthy of attending a conference.
