This Thursday, TEDxIrvine, an independently organized TED-licensed event created to spark deep discussion and ideas, will take place from 6pm to 9pm at Rancho Las Lomas (19191 Lawrence Canyon, Silverado, CA).
The event features speakers that are well-respected and recognized entrepreneurs, artists and creatives with world-changing ideas worth sharing. This particular event’s theme is Change Agents and as such, each speaker will address their role as Change Agents in a world of “accelerated change driven by economic, social and technological factors.” The founders of the event hope to encourage people to “become the change they seek [by gathering] with peers and [getting] inspired by those who see the world a little bit differently than [the rest of us] do.”
