On Monday 20th September, at 4pm TEDxLeeds will be joining the live global webcast of TEDxChange.

Live from New York and webcast simultaneously to 60 locations around the planet, TEDxLeeds and TEDxLondon, will be the only places in the UK where you can participate in TEDxChange.

Convened by Melinda Gates, of the Bill & Melissa Gates Foundation, TEDxChange marks the anniversary of the Millennium Development goals: Ten years in, where does the global community stand in the work to save and improve lives around the world? And what does the future hold? You can catch a brief outline of Melinda Gates’ hopes for TEDxChange in her video blog.

Please join us at 4pm, in Lecture Theatre F of The Rose Bowl to take part in the live TEDxChange webcast; we’ll also be previewing our plans for November’s TEDxLeeds 2010.

TEDxChange in Leeds is free, informal, open and inclusive, but on a subject of critical and profound importance. We do hope you’ll join us next Monday…
