TEDxTeessideUniversityLive
TEDxTeessideUniversityLive will be simulcasting the TEDGlobal 2011 conference in the Phoenix Building, on Wednesday 13th July. The day will be all about watching amazing speakers through a live stream in a relaxed and informal environment. People are welcome to come along to watch a part or all of the event. We will be providing refreshments at intervals throughout the day, including a light lunch.
As the event is all about the live stream we request that people coming to watch the event do so respecting others. A network session will take place after the stream which will give everyone the opportunity to talk and share.
The newly set-up company Big Bite Creative who have just taken residence in the Phoenix Building will be sponsoring the evening networking event with beers and a giant game of Pong which they are currently working on. So for an evening of networking with a twist and a little bit of competition get yourselves along.
