Last year, we were so lucky to go to the 1st Annual TedxMaui! For those that don’t know, Ted.com is a great place to spend some computer time getting inspired by hundreds of 20 minute talks by the top speakers in almost every field. We first watched them while having lunch (since they’re short enough to watch then talk about in a lunch break.) We never imagined that the talks would come to Maui! We expect to be awed again on January 13th, 2013!
Going to this event is special, not only due to the great speakers, but also because of the crowd it draws. Maui has a lot of really bright, positive, forward-thinking people, but rarely do they all converge on one location. ON Sunday, January 13th, The Maui Arts & Cultural Center will hold the 2nd TedxMaui event (and more than likely sell out again.)
We’re really excited to see repeat host Kainoa Horcajo back on stage along with Lia Krieg to help present honored speakers. Kainoa is THE MAN on Maui, helping to share the culture and create a brighter future for our islands. Lia is a legend of Maui Theater and local teacher at Baldwin High. We couldn’t ask for more appropriate presenters for such a powerful event.
2013 Speakers/Performers include:
- Paul Atkins
- Chad Kālepa Baybayan
- Michael Bernard Beckwith
- Rickie Byars Beckwith
- Jim Channon

We’re so incredibly excited! Hopefully we’ll see you there! ALOHA!
