TEDx Miami (TEDxMIA) Provided MingleStick Networking Solution to All Conference Attendees
Miami, FL, November 08, 2010 --(PR.com)-- The Mingle360 mingle networking solution was provided to TEDxMIA, an independently organized TED event, on November 4, 2010. Akin to an electronic business card, the MingleStick enabled conference attendees to "click to connect" with each other. With a simple click of a button, people exchanged contact information, social media profiles, and profile pictures. The MingleStick enhanced peer-to-peer networking and served as a great conversation starter for the conference attendees.
"We are thrilled to support a Tedx conference," says Dan Coffing, CEO of Mingle360. "TEDxMIA is part of an elite and prestigious network of conferences. Their Miami conference brought together thought leaders for the exchange of ideas and our mingle networking solution was a natural fit for initiating and remembering conversations."
"Mingle helped our attendees do what they do best, use new technology to share ideas and make connections across borders," says Mathew Greer, TEDxMIA Curator.
In the spirit of "ideas worth spreading," TED has created TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. The event is called TEDxMIA, where x = independently organized TED event. At TEDxMIA, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
