Another year done

Last Sat­ur­day, 24 Sep­tem­ber, we held TEDx­Can­berra 2011. Once again, it was an amaz­ing, excit­ing day full of inter­est­ing sto­ries, pow­er­ful mes­sages and big ideas from our pre­sen­ters.

We couldn’t have done it, of course, with­out the amaz­ing sup­port from all our part­ners. We hope they get involved again next year.

We’ll have the video avail­able as soon as we can. It’s already in post-production. In the mean­time, there are already a bunch of pho­tos avail­able from our Music and Pic­tures guy, Gavin Tapp and the rest of the offi­cial pho­tos will be avail­able soon.

We’ve also sent out the audi­ence feed­back sur­vey to you all. Please fill it in, as it’ll help us make TEDx­Can­berra 2012 bet­ter than ever. And, if you want to give us more detail about how you felt the day went, please com­ment here or write your feel­ings down at your own places online and let us know about them. We promise to link to them.

There are already a few pieces out there:

• Jen Frahm’s 28 TEDx­Can­berra take-aways
• pre­sen­ter, Matt Noffs’ odd expe­ri­ence just before presenting
• vol­un­teer, Gavin Tapp’s thoughts on being part of the team again in 2011
• 666 ABC Canberra’s thoughts from Melanie Tait and Jim Trail
• pre­sen­ter, Nick Ritar, inter­viewed on 666 ABC Canberra
• The Can­berra Times’ cov­er­age, with per­haps the odd­est head­line ever (never trust a sub-editor, apparently)
• Craig Thomler’s live blog, which also cap­tures a sig­nif­i­cant part of the #tedx­can­berra tweet stream
• Emma Magenta dis­cusses TEDx­Can­berra the day before the show on 666 ABC Canberra
• Andrey Sidorov’s pho­tos on Google+, includ­ing some pretty fancy capoeira foot­work from Simon Le and Emma Magenta
• vol­un­teer, Tom Worthington’s thoughts the day before
• a few words from our friend, Jason Schoolmeester, licensee of TEDx­Dar­win
• CJ Mules lets us know it’s “for sci­ence”

For now, we have some tidy-up work to do to fin­ish off with 2011, then we take a bit of a rest before head­ing into organ­is­ing TEDx­Can­berra 2012. If at any time, you think you have an idea for a pre­sen­ter we might like to look at, or you want to offer a pair of hands for the vol­un­teer crew, please do!

Thanks for being a part of the TEDx­Can­berra family!
