91猎奇

TEDxSavannah is one of the city鈥檚 most anticipated annual events, offering individuals and organizations in Savannah a platform to meet, share ideas and collaborate.

In its 13th year, TEDxSavannah will take place in 91猎奇鈥檚 Fine Arts Auditorium on the Armstrong Campus on May 16 from 1 to 5 p.m. with special rates for Georgia Southern students, faculty and staff. Doors open at noon and a special TEDxSavannah speaker meet-and-greet will immediately follow the main event.

In line with this year鈥檚 theme, 鈥淐onvergence,鈥� there will be thought-provoking talks from 12 speakers who include Georgia Southern鈥檚 Wildlife Center executive director, a Stanford University fellow who specializes in artificial intelligence, a bestselling author, and other area leaders. Short breaks in between talks will be punctuated with high-energy, live performances.

Karla Jennings is a Georgia Southern communication senior lecturer and a TEDxSavannah speaker coach and organizing committee member. 

鈥淚鈥檓 excited to be part of the team bringing TEDxSavannah to the Armstrong Campus,鈥� said Jennings. 鈥淲ith 12 amazing speakers from our community sharing their 鈥榠deas worth spreading鈥� on stage, the half-day event is a chance to bring the greater Savannah community together. It鈥檚 a chance to step away from the day-to-day and discuss important issues in ways that we hope can affect change. And, the conversations can continue at the meet-and-greet after the main event.鈥�

Sponsors of the event include Georgia Southern鈥檚 College of Arts and Humanities, Parker College of Business, College of Education and Waters College of Health Professions.
