The  theme of last year's event was Trust, this year will be Identity! We're excited about the possibilities of this theme  to go beyond just the digital space and into the heart of what makes human beings tick. Again, we're gathering amazing speakers to talk on this topic from diverse angles - - last year we had eminent neuroscientist Paul Zak, the founder of Cantaloupe Systems, venture capitalist  Paige Craig, and the co-founder of Match.com, among others. 

Our speakers this year:
 
Freddy Clarke, magical and humorous composer and guitarist (with 9 friends from all over the world)

 Duleesha Kulasooriya, head of research at the big-thinking Center for the
Edge

 Douglas Kenrick, renowned psychologist speaking on why we all suffer from
multiple personality disorder

 Beau Lewis, producer of American Hipster

 Kaliya Hamlin, known as “Identity Woman” and co-founder of the Internet Identity Workshop

 Luke Griswold-Tergis, producer of documentary Smokin' Fish and maker of
smoked fish

 Buff Giurlani, entrepreneur and founder of the unique classic car warehouse and winery Auto-Vino

 Brian Christian, poet and author of best-selling The Most Human Human: What Talking with Computers Teaches Us About What It Means to Be Alive 

 Eric Drooker, painter, graphic novelist, frequent cover artist for The New Yorker, and animation designer for Howl, a film based on the epic Allen Ginsberg poem 

 Martin Steinert, researcher at the Stanford Center for Design Research

 John Murray, director of Cybernetic & Human Systems at SRI International

 Rolf Rando, founder and CEO of ImageChef

 Danil Kozyatnikov, founder of Quest.li and enabler of real-life quests

 Laura Peticolas & Chuck Striplen, researchers in indigenous knowledge and Western science



We try to make this an intimate and low-key event where people who are deeply interested in the topic can engage with each other on a personal level. Please come with an open mind and a sincere desire to connect with the ideas and the other attendees.

Our venue is the phenomenal classic car warehouse and winery (yes, both!) Auto-Vino. If you love  one-of-a-kind fabulous cars and wine-tasting, in addition to great ideas and people, this is the TEDx for you. After we finish the speaker sessions at 4pm,  we will transition to the winery counter for an optional wine-tasting flight (included in your ticket).

TEDxConstitutionDrive is a nonprofit event. Ticket fees will go towards event planning and speaker  expenses. Fees cover speaker sessions, snacks, lunch and one wine-tasting flight.
