TEDxNJIT Fall 2012

TEDxNJIT is back again this fall on November 1st. They are presenting a series called "Connections," which will be hosted on the NJIT Campus at the Jim Wise Theater from 5-9pm. TEDx events are created in the spirit of ideas worth spreading. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience.

For this series, speakers will address a range of topics focusing on the way our lives are impacted based on the connections we create. We will explore questions such as - "Do connections and collaborations increase better decisions and outcomes?", "In an increasingly connected world how does technology help make stronger connections possible?", or "How is ubiquitous computing impacting our lives for better or for worse?". We will have speakers from companies such as IBM, Cisco, Audible, and Forbes as well as New Jersey Institute of Technology faculty and students.

Carlos Dominguez, Senior Vice President, Office of the President, Cisco Systems
Chris Klezl - Vice President Corporate Strategy, IBM
