Happy Tuesday CATs!

The schedule is all now online for our TEDx event this Wed 16th at tedx.climateaction.tech, you can see the speaker bios and their talk titles, and the agenda for the event.

We have a favor to ask from you, we have over 500 people signed up so far and we need your help to reach 1000. The more people we reach, the quicker we can make a difference, together. 🙏 Please reach out to your network and help bring just one more person to the event. To help, we’ve prepared an email (https://paper.dropbox.com/doc/TEDxClimateActionTech-Wednesday-Dec-16th-BsHUj2BSSjK2C7mdKM8NZ) you can use as a template 🙏

F.A.Q.

I can’t make that time, what at my options? If you register, after the event we will send you a link to the recording, this link will expire after 1 week.

Will the sessions be recorded? It might take a few weeks but all our talks will be available from ted.com after the event.
