TEDxWaterloo 2012

I'm happy today to be able to report some news I'd been sitting on for a while: I'll be a guest speaker at the 2012 incarnation of TEDxWaterloo, one of the largest independently-licensed TED events in North America. Devoted to "Ideas Worth Spreading", TEDxWaterloo is an annual conference of thinkers in wide-ranging fields, loosely defined as technology, entertainment, and design (thus the acronym TED). 

I'm honoured to have been invited to participate in this year's event, especially considering that I often listen to TED talks online for inspiration while working and that the other two speakers announced today are particle physicist Bilge Demirköz and Jean Béliveau, who walked around the world for peace. Intimidating company for a cartoonist.

I'm still working out the exact nature of my presentation, but it will involve not only a talk but a live-drawing performance throughout the event. So join me on March 21st at Centre in the Square in Kitchener, Ontario and see how it turns out!
