Speakers chosen for April 17 TEDx conference in Cody

A diverse roster of speakers will explore topics ranging from Wyoming’s big game migrations to leadership secrets of the Wild West next month as part of Cody’s first TEDx conference.

TEDx Cody is a local, self-organized event licensed under the nonprofit TED organization that holds globally heralded conferences featuring short talks aimed at communicating powerful “ideas worth spreading.” Cody’s conference will feature eight speakers discussing the event’s theme: “Depicting the West.”

Conference organizer John Wells said the April 17 event will “reflect a cultural shift under way at the heart of the Western experience.”
