(*) - Video Q&A:

As part of our mission we want to promote pre-event networking and engage speakers and attendees seeking ideas and knowledge sharing. Therefore we are preparing a Q&A with selected speakers before the conference, and we thought you would be interested in participating in this initiative.

How Q&A works?

We’re opening the possibility in our website and throughout our social networks for general public to ask questions to speakers who accept to answer them.  No more than one question per person is accepted. Speakers will then receive all the questions we gather from July through August and answer them in video, which will then be posted online on TEDxEdges blog and facebook page.

Why this Q&A?

We’re sure this is a great and innovative way to engage attendees (or possible attendees) with speakers, while promoting both speakers and the event itself through our established presence on various social networks.
