LPL and the Lyceum Gallery are proud to partner with TEDxDirigo for a day-long experience of “ideas worth spreading” on Wed, June 27. First, from 10am until 7pm, we will be hosting a viewing party of TEDGlobal2012. Watch TED Talks as they happen in Edinborough, Scotland, right here in Lewiston. Then, at 7:15pm TEDxDirigo will hold its second ever tryouts where people from L/A and Maine will have two minutes each to share their big idea. The audience will choose a “people’s choice” who will be invited back to TEDxDirigo’s annual live event, happening this year on the Bates College campus on October 20. All programming on June 27 is free and open to the public. Registration is required if you’d like to tryout and appreciated if you plan to attend otherwise. For more information on the day, including a detailed schedule of events, click here.
TEDxDirigo has been forged as a world-class platform to celebrate innovation and creativity in Maine. In the same spirit of the state motto, TEDxDirigo leads the way with ideas from Maine’s brightest innovators and change makers. Their goal is for TEDxDirigo to be a catalyst for positive change in the state and world, where new ideas are funded and supported for the greater good of all. Through the popular and effective TED Talk format, they have connected thousands in Maine and hundreds of thousands globally with “Maine ideas worth spreading.” TEDxDirigo is excited to host a suite of events in Lewiston/Auburn in 2012 to celebrate what’s happening here.
