The Cornell Entrepreneur Network (CEN) is partnering with TEDxBigApple organizers (including Cornell alumni) to offer a special invitation to CU Alumni, parents, faculty and friends for:
TEDxBigApple: Disruptive Ideas
Saturday, February 4, 2011
"A disruptive innovation helps create a new market and value network, and eventually goes on to disrupt an existing market and value network, often entirely displacing earlier technologies."
TEDxBigApple's event on February 4, 2012 is themed around Disruptive Ideas with Near-Term Impact in housing, biotech, local spaces, biomimicry, fashion, business and much more. It will focus on ideas that are likely to change the world in the near-term (~3-5 years) instead of those whose impact is in the past or the distant future. We have chosen this around-the-corner time horizon because we believe, in our quickly evolving world, it’ll enable the impressive roster of speakers to share a clearer vision from their learned "crystal ball." These ideas are expected to change and even transform the lives of the world's poorest, the disadvantaged, and the everyday lives of peoples. The program is designed to spark deep discussion and connection. We hope it will inspire you to propel positive change in your life and the world.
About TEDx, x=independently organized event. In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x=independently organized TED event.
The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.
Presenters:
Each of our 13 world-class speakers is considered a thought leader in his/her field.
For example -
Dr. Robert Langer ‘70 is one of the 15 innovators worldwide who will reinvent our future and one of the 25 most important individuals in biotechnology worldwide (Forbes Magazine).

Featuring:
Matt Goldberg '92: CEO, Lonely Planet
Matt Goldberg ‘92 is a restless individual who attributes much his career success to date to this trait. Lonely Planet is an organization with experimentation in its DNA that is leveraging this to drive innovation – transforming it from a traditional book publishing business to a world-class publisher of multi-platform travel content.
At this event, we’ll explore how Matt’s adventures both as CEO and as a traveler are driving Lonely Planet’s growth.
As the world’s best loved travel brand, Lonely Planet’s vision is to guide curious people to experience the world and enrich their lives by getting to the heart of a place. From Across Asia on the Cheap in 1972 to publishing their 100 millionth book in 2010 and now over 100 million online visitors annually, Lonely Planet is an incredible success story. Some 30 years before the phrase “User Generated Content” was ever uttered in Silicon Valley, Lonely Planet had already established a successful direct dialog with readers.
Today, Lonely Planet offers hundreds of products for Kindle, iPad and eReaders, has had close to nine million iPhone app downloads, comprises a growing community of over two million social media and email fans and followers, may be viewed via award-winning television shows and a dedicated branded television block on BBC Knowledge, and has its own magazine now available in 11 countries.
