VanEps Kunneman VanDoorne supports TEDx Curaçao

First TEDx conference in Curaçao:Gather some experts in Technology, Entertainment, and Design (TED). Let them brainstorm, hoping that a great idea will emerge. That is the objective of the non-profit organization. On October 20, TEDx organizes its first conference in Curaçao. On Thursday evening the conference was announced festively in Tu Tu Tango. The purpose of the evening was to find sponsors for the event that is to take place at Kura Hulanda. TEDx began in America in 1984. Information technologist Richard Saul Wurman let some experts present their ideas. The result: the Apple computer. The organization says it believes in the power of ideas and actions to thus change attitudes, lives, and ultimately the world. A speaker invited to a TEDx conference tells a large audience an interesting idea in no more than eighteen minutes. Bill Clinton, Steve Jobs, Al Gore, and Bono are some of the guest speakers who appeared at TEDx conferences in the past.
