尊敬的TED粉丝：
您好！ 非常感谢您报名参加首届 TEDxGuangzhou 的活动。
我们热情期待在广东科学中心的会场上看到您们的到来。
这是一次特别的聚会，这是一次好奇心的聚会，这是一次充满奇缘的聚会，这是一次沟通现实与想象两界的聚会。这就是TEDxGuangzhou. 在这里，你会发现各种各样非常有趣的人，有些人做的事情可能你根本没有听说过。你会见到科学家、艺术家、建筑师、诗人、设计师、程序员等各种人。他们的故事，说不定可以改变你的人生。
本次 TEDxGuangzhou 的主题为“创意锦缎——想象无界”。物理学家爱因斯坦曾言，想象力比知识更重要。我们都曾有过童真，都曾想象过一个比现实更加美好的世界。但为何我们长大后会丧失对美好事物的向往和兴趣？什么夺去了我们的想象力？这次TEDxGuangzhou会议将尝试回答这些问题。
本次TEDxGuangzhou的演讲嘉宾包括：
朱平，社会企业家；
Tom Carter，摄影师；
张振辉，建筑师，雷励中国理事；
Filip Noubel, Internews 中国区主任；
Jon Philips （方力中），自由软件程序员、艺术家；
萧青阳，台湾著名设计师；

我们热情期望各位TED粉丝的到来。另外，我们也会在网上对整个会议进行全程直播，您还可以把这个链接发给您的朋友，他们可以跨越时空，与我们一起分享TED一刻。
12月5日星期六，广东科学中心，与您相约TEDxGuangzhou——“思维SPA”。
Dear TEDsters,
Thanks for signing up for the inaugural TEDxGuangzhou conference. We are most excited to bring out this “Brain Spa” for all of you at the Guangdong Science Center.
This is a unique gathering of its kind, a meeting of curious souls, of serendipity and of clash between the reality and the imaginative. This is TEDxGuangzhou! You will be meeting all kinds of interesting people here. Some of them are doing amazing things you might never hear of before. Scientists, artists, architects, poets, designers and coders… all gather in one room, to share their ideas and stories.
The theme of TEDxGuangzhou is “The Fabric of Imagination”. As the famous physist Albert Einstein once said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge.” We all experienced childhood days, when most of us would long for a better world. But we somehow lost that. In this conference, we will try to reclaim it, through stories and shared experiences.
Speakers at TEDxGuangzhou include:
Ping Chu, eco-innovator from Taiwan;
Tom Carter, award-winning photographer;
Zhang Hai Hua, consultant in cross cultural communications;
Filip Noubel, Internews China Director;
Jon Philips, digital artist, free culture advocate;
Xiao Qing Yang, Grammy Award nominee for album cover design;
Mai Rong Hao, vanguard in independent theater;
Tom Stader, founder of The Library Project;
Chen Xiao Hong, low-carbon economy pioneer;
Zhang Zhen Hui, architect & board member, Raleigh China.
Jose A. Rueda, entreprenuer, game designer;
Deng Ya Jun, Forensic DNA identification expert;
Dominic Johnson-Hill, artist, designer.
We can’t wait to meet you all at the science center this weekend. And even if you ccan’t make it to the venue yourself, you can still watch the whole event online. Here is the link to the live webcast. It will go live as the event starts. Stay tuned for more event updates.
Thank you all for registering.
Best regards, Tony Yet
