TEDxOttawa is THIS Weekend!

The newest member of the StartupLucky team, Susan Murphy (@suzemuse) joins us to talk about TEDxOttawa, coming up this Sunday, December 6th in Canada’s Capital. TED is an annual conference where some of the greatest thinkers in the world convene to share their “ideas worth spreading”. TEDx is an independently run TED event and her friend and colleague and Allan Isfan (@isfan) recently acquired a license to run the event in Ottawa.

TEDxOttawa is going to be a fantastic day, made better by their amazing sponsors such as Overlay.tv and i.a. consultants. Some of the speakers on the agenda include extreme adventurer Ray Zahab, social media philanthropist Danny Brown, and belly dancer and environmentalist Tracey “Halyma” Vibert. It’s going to be an amazing day of ideas and inspiration.

For those who can’t attend in person, the entire event will be streamed live starting at 10:00am EDT, at http://www.tedxott.com/live. Be sure to tune in!

Suze is also going to be a regular contributor to StartupLucky, as our Canadian Connection. She’s going to be getting the inside scoop on the startup scene in Canada, as well as interviewing some incredible people. Stay tuned!
