[Noozhawk’s note: TEDxSantaBarbara makes its debut Aug. 20 at The New Vic Theater in downtown Santa Barbara. As part of the advance publicity, Noozhawk will be republishing Mark Sylvester’s e-letters.]
What’s your favorite TED Talk? Is it Sir Ken Robinson? Simon Sineck? Or maybe Jill Bolte Taylor?
In addition to this year’s live speakers at TEDxSantaBarbara, we will be showcasing several TED Talks on the big screen.
This year we thought it would be fun to ask you to submit your favorite talk. We will then show the top selections based on your emails.
Click here to submit your favorite. You can submit more than one. Tell us why you think the people of Santa Barbara should see that talk.
There is something magical that happens when you watch a talk on the big screen with a room full of enthusiastic TEDsters. It’s much like the experience we share at TEDxLive when we are watching the live simulcast from the main TED stage each spring.
Note: If you are on our mailing list, you’ll receive notice about these special TEDxLive events.
Your favorite talk doesn’t have to have come from TED.com. It might be from one of the thousands of TEDx events that have posted on YouTube.
If you have not taken a look at TED.com in a while, check it out. They recently launched a completely new site with a streamlined experience to help you find talks quicker.
You may not have known that there’s a TEDx channel on YouTube. Check both out, but don’t blame us if you end up watching a couple of hours of talks.
Be sure to send us your favorite and tell us why.
