#tedx maui

From culture to music and theater, Maui has it all this weekend. There’s a falsetto contest being held in conjunction with the Maui Festivals of Aloha, a youth ʻukulele contest in Kāʻanapali, and a throwback concert featuring rock favorite America.

The 3rd annual TEDxMaui event is scheduled to take place on Sunday, September 28, 2014, from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center, Castle Theater.

The first five presenters include: visionary artist Alex Grey; renewable energy pioneer Quayle Hodek; Hawaii Watermen’s Hall of Famer Archie Kalepa; Maui Preparatory Academy teacher Jenelle Peterson; and poet and author Kim Rosen.

Tickets are now on sale for TEDxMaui 2013: The Dream is Real, available at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center (MACC) Box Office.

Each year the group brings together people from the these unique realms to share inspirational and revolutionary ideas with the public. A pre-event talk story session and film screening will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. on Thursday, January 5th at the Akaku: Maui Community Television, media lab on Dairy Road.
