Okay, important note through from the photographer. It is key that all speakers are dressed with hair and makeup done for the dress rehearsal. The photographer will be taking photos during your rehearsal, and you will need to look like you will be in the event later in the day.

If so, I have a favour to ask. (Not right now 😉). Please comment if you would be willing to have a Zoom with me and answer some questions about your experience going through the TEDx training with me. For example, I have included a video that I made with Lizzie about the pitching work I did with the Kokiri Startup Accelerator. Don't worry, you won't just be talking into a camera. It is a Zoom call where we will have a chat, and you will answer a few questions, and I will edit it later into a testimonial video. If you are up for it, please comment below, and we can arrange a time after the TEDx Events are done. Thanks! 😃

Hello Chris. You had mentioned previously that there are some tickets set aside for the family and friends of speakers to attend the TEDx event at which they are presenting. Can you please confirm that this is the case and, if so, how many tickets are available for each speaker?

Thanks for the videos Chris. I have a very specific question about dress. I am having an Austen dress made (plain blue and meets all the requirements with no pattern or sparkle) and a matching belt for the mike pack. Are you able to tell me the width of the clip for the battery back so that my dressmaker can leave the right gap for this on the belt? (Any excuse for a new frock!)

FINAL LINE UP! We have remained with the original split between the Hamilton and Tauranga events, with one exception. Nick graciously agreed to move to the Tauranga event as a swap, so that Kirstine can use the piano in the GAPA in Hamilton. The following is our speaking order for the events: Hamilton – Nov 4th 1. Benjamin 2. Samantha 3. James 4. Andreea --interval— 1. Kirstine 2. Sione 3. Ang Tauranga – Nov 6th 1. Chris 2. Lisa 3. Nick 4. Unaisi --interval— 1. Judy 2. Karen 3. Emma
