Each TEDxMidTownNY program will feature 2 live speakers, and 2 presentations from http://www.TED.com, followed by discussion and networking.
TEDxMidTownNY takes place about 6 times a year at the Hotel Beacon NYC and is sponsored by the Space Frontier Foundation. Tickets: http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/158907
TEDxMidTownNY is dedicated to presenting luminaries of the NewSpace Industry, along with local inventors working on exciting, related technologies. Our audience includes financiers, investors, space enthusiasts, inventors, artists, musicians, educators, and entrepreneurs. The post-presentation discussion with the audience and these two speakers should be particularly interesting as Tom Shelley's company Space Adventures has flown 7 private astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS) over the past 10 years (including Anousheh Ansari who spoke at our September 2010 premier), while Noah Zerkin is studying the effects on people of living in microgravity conditions such as are found on the ISS.
