So on 21 Feb 2010,Kiruba Shankar, who attended TED Active 2010,Palm Springs, California had some wonderful insights and experiences to share.Information that will surely help in making a great TEDX Chennai experience. Here are few to share

1.How one can get the best speakers through crowd sourcing- learning from TEDX Amsterdam

2. Not to treat TEDX Chennai as an event, but as the culmination of month/year long selection of great people and inturn great ideas

3. How vital the various pre TEDX events are, like TEDX conversations with TEDX Stars

4. The power of wish lists

5. To plan well in advance as if TEDX Chennai is happening in June and not in Oct and

6. (Not really applicable to TEDX Chennai)How to find a hotel with great difficulty in Palm springs, near to the TED Active venue, feel blessed, rush to the hotel then realise that its a Gay hotel!and experience the real TED moment(read TED shocker)
