Can you believe we are almost a third of the way through 2016? Neither can we. Over the last three and a half months we have had the most fantastic events here to date! It is an absolute blast seeing the variety of events taking place here and we have crafted our space with that exact idea in mind. Our space is a blank canvas that people can come create their own unique story in. Check out a few of 2016's one-of-a-kind events!
Back in early 2015, as sophomores in high school Zoe Reifel and Gabriela Goldberg set out alter the scenery and change the status quo for local teenagers. They set out to create a platform for the youth to inspire and empower one another by sharing their ideas, innovations and discoveries. Thus TEDx Youth at The Funk Zone was born.
That's a wrap! The second edition of TEDx Santa Barbara Live went off without a hitch. Once a year, the greatest movers and shakers of our time bring their bright ideas to a live audience on the TED stage. The chance to get a seat in that live audience is slim picking. Luckily the production team of TEDx Santa Barbara Live is on a mission to bring that experience to our local community. It was an action-packed two days, with people coming and going during the live simulcast from Vancouver. We are so happy to have been the host location for the second year in a row, another fantastic event in the books. We can't wait for next year!
Courageous. Honest. Honorable. Kymberlee Weil A.K.A. Strategic Samurai embodies all the traits of a Samurai and is a role model for women and men alike. Whether she's training in Hapkido, speaking at a seminar, or producing a TEDx event, she kicks some serious butt! She held a workshop here that was an action-packed speaker training experience.
The life we imagine is often much different from the life we lead in reality. For photographer, author, educator and friend Chris Orwig, the narrative in his head has become his reality. The Creative Fight is his newest endeavor and the third book he has authored, all of which are guides to creativity and producing your best work.
