ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS, N.J. - Feb. 6, 2014 - PRLog -- The world-renowned TEDtalks mission arrives to Red Bank, N.J. on Saturday, May 10, 2014 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Two River Theater, 21 Bridge Avenue. The all-day conference will offer attendees two-dozen live talks and performances that explore the surprising ways play benefits our lives. The event will be recorded live for a global audience and ticket sales are limited.

“As a facilitator of greater openness, tolerance, creativity and curiosity, the act of play is a positive and resourceful force at any age,” said Brian Smiga, Executive Director, TEDxNavesink. “Our speakers will share their engaging stories with an audience of 350 guests of all ages. The 24 talks will be accompanied by musical performances and artwork in various mediums. Prioritize your day, bring a friend and come play at TEDxNavesink 2014. For many, it’s a life-changing experience.”

Last year’s event featured several engaging speakers including Ben Kalina, who recently won the Sundance Sustainability Award for his film Shored Up (#http://shoredupmovie.com): When human nature and the force of Nature Collide. Kalina described his experience at last year’s event as “powerful.”

"Though I've watched dozens of Ted talks online and spent many hours prepping for my own talk at Navesink I didn't realize how powerful of an experience it would be until I'd stepped out on that stage and looked out at the audience,” Kalina said. “It's something everyone should do, at least once."

TEDxNavesink admission is $90 and includes reserved seating, swag bag, catered networking lunch and admission to an evening reception. Student discounts are available. Tickets are available for purchase at www.tedxnavesink.com or at the Two River Theater box office. (http://www.tworivertheater.org)
