TED African Speakers

November 30th, 2006  |  Published in Africa, Event, Media, TED Africa, Tanzania  |  3 Comments



If the program line-up of speakers at the upcoming TED African conference is anything to go by, it promises to be a an awesome experience:

“The program line-up of 50 speakers — like all TEDs — includes inventors, business-leaders, entrepreneurs, scientists, designers, artists, writers, activists, musicians and mavericks. But they have this in common. They are all doing something valuable for Africa’s future. Their voices will inspire. And their ideas will spread.”

Hat tip to Ory, blogging at Kenyan Pundit; she’s on the speakers’ list!

You may watch some amazing [tag]TED[/tag] speakers here… then you will understand what the fuss is about.

    Yes the line up is briliant but how are we supposed to afford to attend even from within Africa I could never dream of finding $2000 or find anyone willing to sponsor me to attend. It is unfortunate that so many people will miss this due to the high cost. Same old story - sorry to be a downer - maybe they will video stream it so we can all watch - ah well hopefully they will MOVE AND SHAKE and we the masses will benefit from their actions!
