Although the official TED event has ditched Monterey for Long Beach, locals are organizing an independent version of TED on April 16 at Monterey Institute of International Studies.
TEDxMonterey will feature inspirational speakers with live online streams, all under the theme "Be the Solution." "There are a variety of challenges that face our global and local community that need innovative solutions and creative thinking," the event's website says. "Speakers will address issues such as the environment, nuclear non-proliferation, poverty and migration with a look towards the possibility that is held in the future."
