BRUNSWICK
TedXDirigo is returning to its Brunswick roots.
“Generate” is the fifth annual TedXDirigo event; the first was held at Frontier Café in 2010, with 100 in attendance. The forum aims to “bring together an intentional, diverse audience that is engaged, curious and passionate — a community that will extend beyond the day of the event.”
This year’s event — 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 3 — will take place at the Cabot Mill at Fort Andross, featuring Mainers “exploring what it means to generate art, products, technology, ideas and more,” organizers said.
Guests will experience Brunswick over the course of the weekend through a mix of public and private events starting Friday night Nov. 1.
Interested persons must request an invitation to attend; the fee if a seat is available is $100. Request an invitation at http://tedxdirigo.com/ want- to- attendtedxdirigo generate/.
Scholarships are available; the event can be seen via a free live webstream.
Local presenters will include John Coleman, who founded The VIA Agency in 1993; and Alicia Eggert, an interdisciplinary artist and an assistant professor of art at Bowdoin College. For a full list, visit http://tedxdirigo.com/category/speakers/.
