Cris Derksen & Shamik Live @ TEDx Vancouver from Shamik on Vimeo.
This past weekend I attended the first ever TEDx conference here in Vancouver, well Burnaby technically as it was at EA. But needless to say it was one of the most inspiring events I have attended in a long time. There was a lot of creative people who came together, shared and networked.
My favorite performance was Shamik and Chris Derksen but I will touch on that in a second. First I wanted to draw attention to Kevin Caroll who through the power of sport has changed lives around the world. The way this man tells a story captivates the room and has people hanging off his every word.
Second would have to be Neill Blomkamp , who at first we found out wasn't there I was really disappointed. But than I was blown away by his video he made especially for the event about ET's. It was informative and gave me insight to many different theories of our great Universe.
Last but not least is Shamik & Derksen, I wasn't prepared for the collaboration of these two different musicians. But what ensued was an amazing marriage of sounds that pleased everyone in the room out of their seats into a standing ovation.

Great to meet you at TEDxVan. I completely agree with your assessment. The speakers in the room had a hard time competing with some of the "best of" videos from TED. But Chris, Shamik, Neil and Kevin all held it down. I'm looking forward to Neil's talk/vid being online so I can share it with people.
