Do you like watching TED talks? Like listening to cutting edge ideas? Well the Canadian equivalent of TED is ideaCity.

This year it’s June 13, 14, 15 in Toronto: 50 speakers, 3 amazing parties & fascinating participants.

I have two half priced tickets. Every year a group of us by 12 tickets a year in advance to get 50% off – and now two of our group can’t go.

If you’d like one or both email me at jimh(at)jimharris.com – or call my assistant Caitlin at (416) 696-5225.

The tickets work out to $2,354 each. By contrast TED is $7,000 and the full price for ideaCity in June is $4,500

Speakers in past years have included: Margaret Atwood, Deepak Chopra, Robert Kennedy Jr, Maude Barlow, Preston Manning. There are also amazing entertainers to keep program lively – Pete Seeger, Bowfire, Cirque du Soleil.

The group of a dozen of us have been going for years and will be happy to introduce you to others.

Death to Driving

Jim Harris

A STAGGERING 94% OF CAR ACCIDENTS ARE DUE TO DRIVER ERROR. So think about the 40,000 lives that will be saved in North America every year in 2025 when all new cars are autonomous (self-driving) vehicles. Think of the 2.5 million people who won’t be maimed or seriously injured annually. Think of the emotional trauma that families will be spared. That’s the GREAT news. There’s also $190 billion of savings in health care costs, the value of lost wages and government benefits. (Globally 1.3 million lives will be saved every year and up to 50 million people will be spared serious injuries).
