ROBINSON FREDERICK

One of the most fun ways to get a peek into another person’s life is to experience their city like a local would -- with a homebase in a their space. LifeSwap takes the fun of living how a stranger does one step further. We’ve teamed up with AirBnB to give you a taste of what it’s like to step into someone else’s shoes. We can safely say that this is the best giveaway of any SXSW party around.

Final Farewell 

Day 4 is about the word on every marketer’s mouth. Everyone’s focusing on it, but it’s not a focused word. What does it mean exactly? Why does it matter? And how do we do it right? Attend small group workshops about mobile ads, mobile responsive site and mobile app development. Learn about the rapid rise of mobile browsing (and what that means to us) in our interactive globe installation. And hear from Ruth McCarthy, Founder of Mobili Media, about how to get caught up -- and then get ahead.

Text Block #4

For the past 7 years, we have been scanning the globe for cohorts of climate-tech entrepreneurs ready to meet this moment with real-world impact. This year, we'll be funding our 100th company and, for the first time, we're bringing their stories from Hilo to Kansas City to Brooklyn to Madrid to you, wherever you are. 


They'll help us answer some of these critical questions about climate change and Equity & Access through a collection of stories illuminated by our favorite artists. 


Could you catch the replay? Sure, but you’ll miss what makes this TEDx experience Elemental: the community. #ClimateAction is a team sport, and I hope you (and your family and friends) will join the first game of our new season. See you in the front row!

The Future is Now

Innovation happens when people with a unique ability to imagine a world that most of us can't see are audacious enough to make their wildest dreams a reality.

Virtual Dance Party with live music from Tavana on the Main Stage

Last month, he released a new album called Sway. He's basically a one-man band. His Instagram bio reads "multi instrumentalist" and that's because he plays every sound you hear live, which is something only a multi instrumentalist can do.

 

Meet the Entrepreneurs

The entrepreneurs you'll hear from at TEDxElemental will gather in another room. Stop by and say hello.

 

Elemental Alumni Film Festival

In a separate room, we'll be hosting a film festival featuring Elemental entrepreneurs from past cohorts. We'll screen short films created by our Filmmaker and resident storyteller Bobby Bailey. 

Entrepreneurs + Photographers = Climate Super Teams

Starting your own business and picking the right niche in no time

At TEDxElemental, you'll hear stories from 19 entrepreneurs and see the work of a dozen photographers who captured the 🌍 world 🌎 of climate tech through their lens. The two professions are actually a lot more alike than one might think. The importance of timing is ever-present in each. If you're in the right spot at the right time and ready to capture the moment, you'll create magic. 

Schedule

Our workshop is packed to the gills with hands-on demos, games, and networking opportunities. Catered lunch, coffee breaks, and quality beers will make the day extra fun!

Data Driven Marketing

We’re capturing more data than ever before. And we’re doing it more precisely. But we’re still not using data to its full potential. Used well, numbers can teach us about each other, inspire our creativity and help us take risks and innovate in our work.

 
One highlight of the day: Peer Exchange sessions, where you can learn about the interesting ways people are using data in the industry. And don’t miss James Frederick’s impressive presentation about a rare skill -- data design.

How do we find meaning in marketing? Is it possible to do more in this industry than help companies sell stuff?


Sure is. Howard Fowler of Tunate Consulting will explain how marketers can use our insights and knowledge about the customer to influence and improve the bigger business strategy.

EXPLORE ELEMENTAL

Hi, it's nice to meet you! We're the Elemental Team. For over a decade, we've been building a platform to address climate change and social equity at the same time. These two worlds have converged now more than ever. But at the time, this had never been done before. There were tech accelerators kickstarting the next Airbnbs and Snapchats of the world inventing new markets for technology to play in, and there were environmental justice and community organizations advocating for social and environmental progress.

 


So, we started an Excelerator with two ideals in mind: 1) entrepreneurs are the right change agents because climate change requires urgent action and entrepreneurs are wired to scale solutions at speed, and 2) all deployment is local. Each year, we select a cohort of companies with technologies and business models that uplift planet and people. We provide them with the resources to grow faster than they would on their own with a keen focus on deployment, where the ideal becomes real. 

WHO SHOULD ATTEND 

Calling all changemakers -- corporate innovators, community-based organizations, local businesses, policymakers, entrepreneurs, investors, and passionate individuals -- racing to a cleaner, more resilient, more equitable future.

Innovation at its best is a bridge between technology and the prosperity of people & planet.

PEOPLE TO SEE

CAMILA & ARJUN

The head honchos will kick the night off with a toast. They’ll probably tell the hilarious story about how they thought up LifeSwap. And hopefully they’ll remember to tell you that everyone who attends the party is gets $100 in Airway Bed credit.

ROBINSON FREDERICK

One of the most fun ways to get a peek into another person’s life is to experience their city like a local would -- with a homebase in a their space. LifeSwap takes the fun of living how a stranger does one step further. We’ve teamed up withthe CTO of Airway Bed to give you a taste of what it’s like to step into someone else’s shoes. We can safely say that this is the best giveaway of any party around.

CTO

AIRway Bed

QUINN THE IRISHMAN

Camila’s brother was the world’s worst DJ. His taste in music is awful. He once played the hokey pokey in the middle of a huge techno dance party. He thought it’d be funny. The only part he was good at was hyping up the crowd. So that’s what he does now.

EVENT MC

CIARAN, LLC.

DJ ZENY

He’s a master at curating tunes that suit the mood. And the mood of this party will be a Good Mood. A Fun Mood. A Dancey Mood. Zeny’s going to kill it.

SPIN DOCTOR

STILES SWITCH

Damn good Texas BBQ. Taste it once, and you’ll wish you could taste it every day forever and ever. We can vouch for that.
