TED has granted approval for Hallie Bram and me to host the TEDxCLE event. If you aren’t familiar with TED it is an annual event where some of the world’s leading “thinkers and doers” are invited to share what they are most passionate about. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design — three broad subject areas that are, collectively, shaping our future. Past speakers include Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Jane Goodall, Frank Gehry, Paul Simon, Sir Richard Branson, Philippe Starck and Bono.
For the past few months I have been working with the SXSW committee to finalize the members of the “Big Brother in Your Brain: Neuroscience and Marketing” panel for the 2010 SXSW Interactive Festival. And today I am proud to announce that SXSW has approved my shortlist and all speakers have confirmed their participation in the panel! The panel includes a diverse group of talented individuals from the fields of neuroscience, neuromarketing and marketing. Get ready for an engaging and thought-provoking conversation and debate on the convergence of cognitive neuroscience and marketing.
