The press release gives the details: Asheville, NC (July 19, 2010) – Online registration for the 2010 TEDxAsheville conference, to be held at the Orange Peel on Sunday, Aug. 29, begins today.
This year’s speaker lineup includes:
• “Last American Man” Eustace Conway,
• chef-entrepreneur Laurey Masterton, and
• multi-percussionist, composer and educator River Guerguerian.
The $25 tickets are available at the conference’s website. All ticket proceeds will be used to underwrite the costs of producing the conference.
In 2009, TEDxAsheville packed the Orange Peel to overflowing. To better meet local audience demand in 2010 TEDxAsheville will offer a live streaming broadcast at several pubs and other viewing venues. Individuals, groups and organizations are encouraged to host private viewing parties, as well. This will allow TEDxAsheville fans from all over to enjoy the event in real time, even if they can’t make it to the show.

ABOUT TEDx
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED created a program it calls TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxAsheville, where “x” indicates an independently organized TED event.
The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
