NED Talks Announces Technology Conference, 3/14 at The Whistler

By: Feb. 10, 2011

Every year the super-conference TED Talks gathers in Silicon Valley to spread ideas about technology, entertainment, and design. Some of the greatest speakers of our generation have been a part of the conference, including Al Gore. "NEDtalks: Spreading Worthless Ideas." proves that there is nothing Silicon Valley can do that Chicago can't do in a lazier and less impressive way.

Kellen Alexander and Seth Dodson (of 1, 2, 3, Fag!) co-host this comedic mini-conference at the Whistler on March 14th. In the style of TEDtalks speakers aim not to smarten you up but to dumb you down and present speeches, powerpoints, pie charts and shoebox dioramas on topics such as "Protecting Your Brain from Hypnotism" and "Why it's Better to be Beautiful" .

NEDTALKS will take place on March 14th at 9:00 pm at the Whistler
