Today TEDxBroadway announced additional speakers who'll join in the discussion at the third-annualevent.

Speakers Mark Fisher and Michael Keeler (founders of Mark Fisher Fitness) Robert Lopez (Tony Award winning composer, The Book of Mormon, Avenue Q), Jonathan Mann ("the song a day guy"), and Gabe Zichermann (gamification expert) join previously announced David Drake, Diane Paulus, Lea DeLaria, Sree Sreenivasan, and more.

Organizers Damian Bazadona, Ken Davenport, and Jim McCarthy endeavor to provide an environment to answer the question, "What's the BEST that Broadway can be?" They have gathered some of the smartest, most interesting people from a wide range of fields of expertise to consider this question and present their findings. However, it's not just the people on the stage who are important to that vision, but the members of the audience, who'll come from government, academics, Broadway production and marketing, tourism, hospitality, food service and beyond. All stakeholders in the vitality of the neighborhood of Broadway will participate in developing and sharing this vision.

TEDxBroadway is co-organized by Damian Bazadona, founder of Situation Interactive, Broadway producer Ken Davenport, and Jim McCarthy of Goldstar. They are proud to welcome back co-organizing sponsors: Jujamcyn Theaters, Google, and Broadway.com.

The one-day event returning on Monday, February 24, 2014 beginning at 11:00.am. at New World Stages (340 West 50th Street) will be filled with provocative presentations, intriguing discussions and new connections that forward-thinking members of the community will want to join. Tickets are priced at $100 and may be purchased on the Goldstar website at http://www.goldstar.com/events/new-york-ny/tedxbroadway-3.
