TEDxHilo Organizer Meeting Update

Last night’s meeting
In attendance: Jennifer, Andrew, Neal and Lars(via Google Hangout). Really productive brainstorming on event theme, date and venue. In your absence we made some decisions and we’d like your input to be sure we’re not making any mistakes.
 
We used the d-school brainstorming method to come up with a theme title of, “RE:Generation” and an event date of “September 21st” and we’re looking into holding the event at the “University of Hawaii Hilo“. 
 
RE:Generation
September 21st, 2013
University of Hawaii at Hilo
 
Looking for your input especially regarding the date. Our next step is to reserve the space and announce the broad details. Does anyone want to propose a sub-title? Anyone know why Saturday 09/21/13 might possibly be a bad day? Benefits, like: International Peace Day. Any on-island events that might conflict? Any input = good input.
 
The next organizer meeting is scheduled for May 1st, 6pm at the Hawaii Innovation Center at Hilo. Please help us organize by choosing one or more roles on the volunteer form on the TEDxHilo website
Replies to the RE:Generation theme have all been positive so far:
“I think that theme is great! I love double entendres.”

“I like RE:Generation. Without more information on the theme it’s tough, but

as far as sub-titles, how about   -RE:Connect, RE:Commit, RE:Create

Aloha TEDx Fans on Hawaii Island!

As we gear up for 2013 events, we’re on the lookout for folks interested in getting involved in local TEDx events on Hawaiʻi Island. We’d love your involvement.

More than watching TED Talks, organizing or sponsoring a local TEDx event helps raise our community awareness of issues important to our way of life. By contributing your time or money you’re moving ideas worth spreading off the computer and into the hearts and minds of attendees.

“Presence” is often necessary and always illuminating for everyone involved in TEDx events. We take smalls steps towards our goals and raise our combined consciousness. It’s powerful education and really easy to get started.

We’re not asking for your time right now. Just a note from you indicating your interest in supporting TEDxHilo. When the time comes for our first meeting, we’ll send you another note to see if you’re still interested in being involved in TEDx.

The online form takes about 30 seconds to complete. Try it out!
