We all know that feeling: your head is in the clouds, ideas rushing through your mind at the speed of light. Nothing seems impossible anymore. You’re inspired and can’t wait to learn more! No, you haven’t just left a TEDTalk (though we certainly hope you feel this way after our monthly TEDxKrakówCinema meetings) – you’ve been energized by a particularly thought-provoking lecture at your university!
Every college has a professor (or a dozen, if you’re lucky) known for their captivating way of bringing whatever topic they teach to life. Perhaps it’s a visiting lecturer who normally spends his or her days inventing things (or ideas) that make life better. Perhaps he or she is an unparalleled expert in their field, and is able to explain their work in a way that excites students and makes them hungry for more knowledge. Perhaps it’s even a young graduate student waiting to be discovered by the world outside of the ivory towers of academia. If any of these descriptions ring true for someone you know, we want you to nominate them to speak at TEDxKraków 2012!
But what’s in it for you? Well, if the person your nominate is chosen as a speaker (and if you’re the first one to nominate that person), you will automatically be invited to attend TEDxKraków 2012, which means you will be rubbing elbows with the best and brightest in the spheres of technology, entertainment, design, education and politics from Kraków and beyond. You will also have the satisfaction of knowing that this lecturer you look up to will not only inspire future generations of students, but he or she will have a powerful platform to educate and galvanize a global audience – just ask TEDxKraków speaker Tal Golesworthy, whose 2011 talk has been viewed over 300,000 times on TED.com!
So what are you waiting for? Nominate a speaker today!
