About this event
Upgrade Our World
Join us on March 10th, 2012
TEDx is making its debut in Gramercy, New York City. Six speakers present their take on how “old ways” can move seamlessly into the realm of our digital new world. You’ll ponder:
How can momentum help us realize new ideas?
How do freedom of expression, security and privacy translate in our information age?
Can old-fashioned game mechanics serve the needs of big business?
Can we collaborate, innovate and create in the Meta-verse?
What does classic literature have to do with your latest Powerpoint deck?
What is the Hipster Effect?
Join us on March 10th 2012, for insights into how old ideals play out in our new world.
