Speakers presenting at TEDxDUMBO come from a broad range of fields relating to the urban experience -- artists, architects, activists, entrepreneurs, scientists, journalists, and theorists will speak on issues as diverse as greening urban space, participatory art, online dating, intercultural coexistence, urban power structures, and socially responsible design. Some highlights include Benjamin Barber, former Clinton advisor and author of the upcoming 'If Mayors Ruled The World'; Graham Hill, founder of TreeHugger; Hilary Mason, Chief Data Scientist at bit.ly and cofounder of HackNY; and Greg Lindsay, author of 'Aerotropolis' and former Jeopardy! champ.
The audience of 100 will be carefully selected to represent a cross-section of those involved in the urban and related fields.
