CMDS Team to Experience Intellectual Adrenaline Rush at TEDx
Chris Mulvaney is the CEO of CMDS. I make things... I’m the creative entrepreneur with passion for (re)making brands and inventing solutions to problems no one knows exist.
TEDxNavesink
Our entire CMDS team will be attending TEDxNavesink conference on Saturday, April 11 at Monmouth University. TED (which stands for Technology, Entertainment and Design) is described by Forbes.com as a “big deal” and an event that will produce the effect of an “intellectual adrenaline rush, like the feeling that rips through you after a significant accomplishment,” and our team can’t wait to experience the ride.
What is TEDxNavesink?
Forbes describes the “x” factor in TEDx are attributed to the organizers for selecting interesting themes, interesting speakers and interesting audiences. TEDx events take on the focus of a local community that concentrates on local voices. In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, live speakers combine with TEDTalks video to spark deep discussion and connection. These local events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The ideas conference has accelerated in growth in its first two years, and the theme of this year’s third conference is — quite appropriately — “accelerators.” We couldn’t be more excited to witness the rapid-fire presentations.
Shake Things Up and Massage Our Brain
The TED philosophy, according to Lara Stein, the Founder and Director of TEDx, consists of one sentence, “it’s about simplified, authentic storytelling.” Which seems to fit well with its mission of, “ideas worth spreading”. Combine these remarkable TEDx organizers and speakers and we’re definitely going to walk away from Saturday’s life-changing workshop inspired.
Given the wide-ranging subject matters that will be presented, we will have the opportunity to connect and network with some interesting, diverse people (including many outside of our industry) and grow new connections in our brain as we think outside the box, too. We’re all ready to be motivated by these brilliant speakers and thrilled to be a part of this powerful workshop….making us even bigger rock stars than we already are.
