Stacy KontrabeckiI MC’d at TEDx Shelburne Falls on Saturday. I talk a lot about how Western Massachusetts is full of world-class talent that can take on the world. Saturday proved it to me again. The program included several videos of talks from both the TED mother-ship and TEDx. The presentations that we heard the other day were just as good as anything that was on show.

I’m not sure when the videos from Saturday will be up at TEDx Shelburne Falls, but keep an eye out, and I’ll link to them when they are posted.
