Brief

Because only a limited amount of seats are available to a limited number of people able to journey to California, a secondary event, set in an English city, held for a different group of intellectuals and open to students should be held, and the be the centrepiece of Leeds Renaissance towards a creative economy.

This is to be a 'simulcast' event, in which the conference itself is broadcast, in a possible cinema style environment, after several hours from initial performance. This has two distinct advantages from hosting the conference itself, firstly the scale of the operation, a more appropriately sized structure to cater for a smaller audience, a local audience, which could (in theory) be possible future TED attendees. This becomes a possible solution, and advantage two, in that given the reduced exclusivity of this local event, more interested (as opposed to dedicated) parties could gain access to the broadcasts and environment of intellectual conversation. This specifically addresses the young and upcoming talent, which needs to be nurtured in producing the next generation of ideas.
