TEDxRVA
http://www.tedxrva.comA creative renaissance has transformed Richmond into an epicenter of innovation and creativity. On March 22, 2013, the inaugural TEDxRVA will bring the concept CREATE into an open forum where audience and speakers together will engage in a symbiotic process of inspiration and creation. Beside the magnificent James River in this historic city, the event takes place in The Power Plant, a building which housed the massive turbines that powered the first street cars in the United States. As TEDxRVA unfolds, ideas will meld with action, producing a showcase of what is possible when community comes together. Empty spaces will function as blank canvases for audience engagement and spontaneous creative response. The result will be an experience reflective of, and inspired by, the dynamic topics presented by our curated line-up of innovative creatives, storytellers, entrepreneurs and community leaders. Conversations will create new connections and build frameworks for transitioning thoughts to tangible reality.
