Adam Jaffrey’s TEDxMelbourne Talk

Some of you may know that a couple of months ago (20th November 2010, to be exact) I spoke a TEDxMelbourne’s Community & Youth event. It was an amazing experience which I thoroughly enjoyed. The day was packed with inspiring speakers and performers, as well as the opportunity to network with all of awesome people I met (both in person, and online). I can’t decide which aspect (i.e. entertainment vs. networking) was more valuable!

Anyway, the video of my TEDx Talk has just been posted to YouTube. Check it out below (permalink):

Adam Jaffrey speaking at TEDxMelbourne

For those of you who haven’t heard of the amazing conference TED (which stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design), it’s a worldwide phenomenon which goes by the mantra ideas worth spreading. TED licenses out its brand in a franchisee-like manner to events all over the world which carry the name TEDx (the x stands for an independently organised TED event).

This Saturday, 20th November 2010, I will be speaking at TEDxMelbourne which will be held at the State Library of Victoria. I’m super-excited to be part of such an amazing event and community!

This TEDxMelbourne event will follow the theme Community & Youth, which makes it perfect for me to speak about the community non-profit organisation I volunteer for called, Step Back Think. Step Back Think aims to put an end to street violence, particularly alcohol-fuelled violence – and it’s something I’m very passionate about.
Unfortunately (due to popular demand), tickets for this TEDxMelbourne event sold out in just a few days but I’d love you to watch me speak via the livestream (register here). Otherwise, here are a few other ways to be a part of the day.
