Ignite Dallas #2

I've been following the TED events for a few years and I've always wanted to go but haven't been able to get approved to attend. If you are not familiar with TED it is a gathering of people who give timed presentations on their big ideas. You have to be reviewed and your idea has to be pretty riveting or game changing to present.

To be able to attend an event in person you have to write an essay and be pretty important. I do appreciate being able to watch all the videos on www.TED.com. I find them very inspirational and they continue to give me hope for the future of humanity.

Recently other groups have been working to emulate TED such as SMU with their TEDxSMU event which I also tried to get into and was not accepted. I stumbled on another group which I was able to get into and I'm looking forward to seeing what the event holds. This group is called Ignite Dallas. I registered on EventBright for only $20 here and there is a Facebook page here. I'll attend and report back on how it goes. It's Wednesday June 2nd from 6pm till 10pm at the Granada Theatre.
