On Friday April 9 starting at 7pm ET, educators, academics, students, and other remarkable people will join viewers online live from London, ON for TEDxOntarioEd. This event will be streamed live at http://livestream.com/tedxontarioed.

Each participant will have 5 minutes to share their ‘idea worth spreading’ about motivation. This dynamic sharing will discuss the concept of motivation, how it relates to students and educators in our rapidly changing world, the tools that enable motivation, and how motivation is manifested in various contexts. Through the support of TED, this event promises to bring together creative minds from across Canada that will immerse an audience of live and remote participants in a rich dialog about innovative ideas.

NEW YORK (Nov. 17, 2009)— Today’s TEDxSF‘s next event, Creativity & Reinvention, will feature fascinating speakers, great music and more. TEDxSF has selected to broadcast the entirety of their event via Livestream, the leading broadcast platform and community for streaming media.

In the spirit of “ideas worth spreading,” TED has created TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDx San Francisco where x equates to an independently organized TED event. At TEDx San Francisco, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.

The speaker lineup includes Phil Hettema, a leader in experiential entertainment, who will explore “Immersion, engagement, storytelling and creativity.” Joining Hettema, Dr. Sam Wang from Princeton will explore “Willpower.” Walter McGuire, who led the Earth Day and Flex Your Power campaigns, will “Shock the Social Contract” and award-winning photojournalist Doug Menuez will present “Fearless Genius: How Silicon Valley Innovation Transformed the World.” In addition, the event features world-class musician’s Zoe Keating and Meklit Hadero, plus much more, including Ryan Wyatt, the head of scientific visualization at the Cal Academy’s Planetarium. Additional presentations include interactive play, creativity, photography and fashion.

Livestream allows the webcast to be embedded anywhere, including integration with Facebook and Twitter to allow users of the social media tools to engage in the ongoing conversation of TEDxSF. The conference is subsequently provided with immediate interaction with those viewers via the social stream, adding a new dimension to their live broadcast while further helping their message reach many thousands of viewers online.

The entire conference will also be live on the iPhone at http://iphone.livestream.com.

Watch the live event unfold at www.tedxsf.org, http://www.livestream.com/tedxsf or on your iPhone at http://iphone.livestream.com from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. PST/ 7p.m. to 11 p.m. EST.
