TEDxAlbany is coming up
TEDxAlbany -- the local spinoff of the popular TED series -- is coming up next Thursday at The Egg (that's November 4).
The lineup of speakers looks interesting. A few of them:
- Eben Bayer, co-founder of Green Island startup Ecovative Design
- James Howard Kunstler, arch-nemisis of urban sprawl
- Improv expert Kat Koppet
- The Veggie Mobile's EJ Krans
- UAlbany professor Edward Cupoli, who's part of the "nanoeconomics" constellation at the school
Jeff Gaines, a consultant from Cohoes, is the organizer of the event -- he'll be giving a talk on "Why is Everyone So Fat, Broke and Busy."
Tickets are $34.75 if you register before Sunday. After that, they're $39.99.
AOA is a media sponsor of TEDxAlbany. We figured it could be an interesting day -- both because of the speakers, but also because of the other people attending.

Say Something!
We'd really like you to take part in the conversation here at All Over Albany. But we do have a few rules here. Don't worry, they're easy. The first: be kind. The second: treat everyone else with the same respect you'd like to see in return. Cool? Great, post away. Comments are moderated so it might take a little while for your comment to show up. Thanks for being patient.
