It’s official. TEDx Toronto was an absolute delight for InteraXon CEO Ariel Garten.
Last Friday, Ariel delivered her speech at the convention, which was extremely well received by fellow Ted Talkers. Her presentation included a real-time Projection Mapping demo that allowed the audience to literally see her brainwaves in action. But the fun wasn’t limited to the podium. After the speech, Ariel spent the entire lunch hour engaging with a crowd of people interested in sharing their thoughts on TCC’s potential to connect us with a deeper part of ourselves.
“This was a bit of a different talk for me,” Ariel admits in an post-TED e-mail. “Normally I talk about the technology, how it works, the history, our partners in the space, and the kinds of things people have been controlling with this technology. I always end off with what is important to me – that this technology’s most interesting application is to help you know the self.” The talk was unique for Ariel because it dealt completely with this last point. And this really hit home with the TEDxTO crowd.
When the time came to let loose at the after party, Ariel couldn’t walk two steps without encountering a friendly new face, ready to chat about the solutions we create at our lab. So here it is – a huge, warm THANK YOU to everyone who participated in TEDx last weekend and made it so much fun for us at InteraXon. Please stay connected through Twitter and Facebook. See you next year!
