TEDxChristchurch – Ellis’ Philosophy on Adventure

Published on Monday, December 2nd, 2013, under Blog, Media

 
Ellis Emmett is as close to a stereotypical Kiwi as you can get; he’s an avid adventurer and passionate outdoorsman. His many and varied adventures have taken him from the peaks of inaccessible mountain tops, deep into remote jungle, to over 1,000 feet beneath the ocean — and literally hundreds of places in between. These journeys, along with Ellis’ gift for storytelling and his passion for the outdoors, have led to him becoming an international television personality and author.

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.
