TEDx Brisbane 2010

I was delighted to be an attendee at TEDx Brisbane 2010.

The planning and preparation was well organised and there were high expectations.

And the speakers and presentations (both long talks and short brain bursts) were excellent and varied.

Unfortunately trying to accommodate double the numbers by alternating attendees between "live" and audio/visual auditoriums did not work for me.

Session 1 in the "other" auditorium was not a good experience, starting off with no sight or sound, then sound only until vision was restored.

Attending session 2 "live", was a huge improvement in the "experience".

I was pleased to be able to watch the other sessions at home on Ustream.
