If you're not familiar with TED talks, I highly recommend clicking here to learn about these very interesting, engaging, and enlightening ways to help spread ideas.
The organization has licensed Ajit George to create a conference here in Wilmington - TEDx Wilmington - which is now in it's 5th and most ambitious year.
Ajit has gathered 38 speakers from four countries and 14 states who will present ideas worth spreading at World Cafe Live at the Queen on August 24.
Here's a sample of the topics and speakers:
· “From Pawns to Kings: Chess Champions of Murder Town USA,” by Walter Durant
· “Sex Trafficking in the US: Young Lives, Insane Profit,” by Yolanda Schlabach
· “How to Graduate from College Debt-Free!” by Cornelius “Nippy” Betz, III

I have no doubt that the ideas presented in Wilmington on the 24th will inspire and lead to change.
