TEDxRockhampton is now less than a week away, and organisers are putting the final touches on what will be a fantastic program.
Capricorn Enterprise and Rockhampton Regional Council have thrown their support behind TEDxRockhampton and have come on board as event partners.
Less than 10 tickets remain, so if you want to be a part of the first ever TEDxRockhampton, join us by grabbing your ticket at www.TEDxRockhampton2013.eventbrite.com.au.
Joining Dr Sarah Jane Pell, Harvee Pene, Mick Alexander and Trudy Graham will be:

Robert Schwarten is a well-known local personality, having represented the region as Member for Rockhampton for nearly 17 years. While he has retired from politics, he is by no means any less interested in the subject, and will be sharing with TEDxRockhampton where modern democratic policies are headed.
