TEDxChange 2012 is a TEDx event co-organized by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and TED. Convened by Melinda French Gates and hosted by Chris Anderson, TEDxChange will focus on issues surrounding global health and development.
TEDxChange type events are TEDx events hosted around the live webcast of TEDxChange, and may also feature local speakers. Our event is called TEDxHonoluluChange, and is one of many TEDx events happening around the globe on April 5th that will expand on the ideas brought up at TEDxChange 2010.
The event will be co-hosted by Glenda Tali, MSN, RN, APRN, Campus College Chair, College of Nursing, and Juanito Torres, MSN, RN, Program Manager, College of Nursing, from University of Phoenix Hawaii Campus.
The three-hour agenda will include viewing the TEDxChange 90-minute program (archived live stream from April 5th) in its entirety followed by local conversation regarding the topics covered.
TEDxChange 2012. Why?
Convened by Melinda French Gates. Hosted by Chris Anderson.
The current economic climate has drawn our focus to immediate needs closest to home. But now, more than ever, it's critical to keep site of the fact that we are part of interdependent, global community. And too many within that community cannot meet their most basic needs: food, clean water, life-saving medical treatment and vaccines.
We can't proceed with business as usual.
On April 9, 2012, we'll take a step back and look at the big picture: Why should we, as a society, continue to invest in global health and development? How can we work across borders and political boundaries to make positive change? And what returns can we expect on our investments?
