Seat applications for TEDxMacquarieUniversity 2011 have been streaming in as we approach the application deadline (Applications now close on Monday 3rd October, 2011). Those offered an exclusive seat in the audience will get a free lunch on the day, as well as the opportunity to rub shoulders with inspiring speakers and fantastic musicians. Although demand for seats is high, you can increase your chances of being allocated a seat by either:
- Option 1: Printing this template, writing an inspiring/relevant message on it, taking a photograph of yourself holding your new sign, and posting via the form to your right. After posting the photo share it on your Facebook wall and get your friends to “like” your photo – this will increase your chances of being offered a seat on the day!
- Option 2: Posting a photograph of yourself doing something relevant to our theme of “Social Awareness. Engagement. Change.” For example, you may have an appropriate photo of when you were volunteering at an orphanage in Guatemala/interning at a microfinance firm in Bangladesh/teaching something to someone somewhere. As above, post your photo via the form on the right and then share it on your Facebook page and get your friends to “like” your photo – this will increase your chances of being offered a seat on the day!
Posting a photograph on our page does not guarantee you a seat at TEDxMacquarieUniveristy, but it goes close! It does tell us you’re excited about the event and committed its vision.
We hope to see plenty of people on 16 October 2011 for the innaugual TEDxMacquarieUniversity – this is your time to increase your social awareness, get engaged in a worthy cause, and then make some change in the world!
Despite offering a seat application challenge, we are still reviewing all seat applications we have received. The information contained in the original applications forms are an important part of seat allocation process.
