The Park City Performing Arts Foundation will stream TEDxChange 2012 live from Berlin on Thursday, April 5, 2012, from 9 a.m. – 2 p.m. at Park City’s Eccles Center. The event is convened by Melinda French Gates and hosted by Chris Anderson. TEDxChange is hosted locally by Hope Alliance and People’s Health Clinic co-founder, Dr. John Hanrahan, and PCPAF Executive Director Teri Orr.

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is a strategic partner of the TEDx program, and together they’ve teamed up for a very special project called TEDxChange – an initiative devoted to ideas worth spreading in the areas of global health and development.

On April 5, 2012, TEDxChange will take a step back and look at the big picture: Why should we, as a society, continue to invest in global health and development? How can we work across borders and political boundaries to make positive change? And what returns can we expect on our investments?

Local speakers will include renowned electrophysiologist Dr. Nassir Marrouche, creativity author/singer/songwriter Mary Beth Maziarz, author and leadership expert Donna McAleer, “Super Cookie” creator and BYU Professor of Nutritional Sciences Dr. Paul Johnston, and award-winning food and travel writer Lavinia Spalding.
