“Innovation comes from people meeting up in the hallways or calling each other at 10:30 at night with a new idea, or because they realized something that shoots holes in how we’ve been thinking about a problem.” –Steve Jobs
Are you ready to take part in the creation of a culture of inspiration, creativity, and innovation on Maui? For over ten years, TED has been a platform for sharing great ideas with the world and has hosted some of the most brilliant thinkers of our time. In that spirit, we have been hard at work cultivating a TEDxMaui program featuring both locally and globally renowned leaders that exude infectious passion and energy. We are thrilled to announce the following additions to our program.
Three New Speakers
Charles Hambleton – Associate Producer of the Oscar-winning documentary, “The Cove” about the mass killing of dolphins, Hambleton fearlessly chronicles environmental crimes, using high-tech cameras, and offers solutions that benefit communities and companies.
