Instructor searching for speakers for lecture event
To inspire innovation and the sharing of ideas, TEDxABQ, an offshoot of the well-known Tedtalks, is in search of speakers for this year’s event and the deadline is closing in, Bill Meador, part-time U.S. History instructor, said.
The three-question application for the Sept. 7 event, found at tedxabq.com, is due by April 30 so that speaker training can begin in May, he said.
Meador has been involved with TEDx for three years and this year he is trying expand information resources for the community, he said.
“The title of our organization is TEDxABQ but we’re trying to reach out into other parts of New Mexico and are really looking for speakers and people to attend from all over the state,” Meador said.
