Fantastic program of talks. I am really looking forward to attending a TED event live. Thanks so much for organising.
Just frustrated that I didn’t hear about the TEDAdelaide sooner.
Hi Rosemary,
I am sorry to hear that you didn’t hear about TEDxAdelaide sooner. You can still add your name to the waiting list on tedxadelaide.eventbrite.com, you might be lucky and get a ticket to the livestreaming room at the Science Exchange.
We will live stream all the seasons and you can join the conversation after the live talks at our bar from 6.30.
We are also co-organising TEDxYouth on 19 November, for 12 to 26 years olds.
I hope this helps and you will find a way to enjoy great ideas from TEDxAdelaide.
Petra
I also missed hearing about this. I’ve just gone to the eventbrite site and there is no provision to place your name on a waitlist… Is there any other way of getting onto the waitlist?
Hi Maureen,
I am sorry to hear about the trouble with eventbrite. They recently updated their system, so over past few days we experienced some minor problems. I added your name to our waiting list and you should recieve an email from eventbrite inviting you to collect your ticket (few tickets became available over the weekend).
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Petra
