IdeaFestival is Ba-ack! ?

Louisville | 09.26.16

IdeaFestival® is the leading celebration for disruptive thinkers and the intellectually curious, releases this year’s full agenda and announces national sponsors and media partners. The Festival boasts over 35 speakers and performers who will inspire, entertain and encourage discovery, imagination and bold new ideas beginning Sept. 27th – 30th, at The Kentucky Center for the Performing Arts.

This powerful event brings together an impressive list of emerging and well-known influencers from four continents and a variety of disciplines including science, the arts, design, business, film, technology, education and much more – all working towards the convergence and exploration of how ideas shape our future.

Additional presenters and influencers announced for this year include author and Future Tense Fellow at New America, Jamie Holmes, American recording artist, actress and model, Janelle Monae, Dr. Christine Ortiz, Morris Cohen Professor of Materials Science at MIT, Sonia Shah, science journalist and prize-winning author, and Greg Christian, sustainable foodservice consultant, chef, author, and entrepreneur.

IdeaFestival Founder Kris Kimel says, “IdeaFestival focuses on big questions and ideas, that inspire, challenge and are sometimes dangerous. Dangerous in the sense that they are disruptive, often challenge the status quo, risky and can be transformative. In fact, IdeaFestival encourages attendees to embrace the danger of new ideas.”

This “big question” approach has resulted in sponsorships and media partnerships with influential national sponsors including Delta Dental, the Kentucky Innovation Network , the University of Louisville and the Kentucky Science and Technology Center along with award-winning media partners, INC, CNET, Tech Republic, ZDNet and Scalawag.

✨ 𝓉𝑜𝓅 𝓃𝒾𝓃𝑒 ✨ Compared to ✨ 𝓉𝑜𝓅 𝓃𝒾𝓃𝑒 ✨ Compared to other years, 40 posts in 2020 is scarcity at its finest when compared to other years of me posting almost every day. The time away has allowed me to get through one of the darkest years, so many of us have faced. While I’ve historically turned to my keyboard as a release of hardships, I’ve been unusually reclusive as I’ve focused on a silent health challenge, family, friends, work, and school as a guiding light. ✨ 2020 was a year I never really wanted, but I learned much about myself and tapped on inner strength to push through. ✨ Therefore I must be grateful for the lessons I’ve learned. 🙏 2021, please be kind. The world and I need it. #thankunext #surviveandthrive #ciao2020 #topnine

• 𝓂𝑜𝓇𝓃𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝓌𝑜𝓇𝒹𝓈 • Today I choose to show up as the best “me” I can be, much like how the ocean shows us how to be. ☀️ The empowered me that battles my autoimmune diseases with radical approaches to heal all within me. 💪 The confident me. The me that handles both anything and everything the world tosses at me. 🌎 The me that faces the world with eyes of possibility, creativity, and solution. 🤩 The me with a heart full of hope and a head full of beautiful dreams. 🥰 The me that floods others with kindness and love. 🌊 The me that knows my strength is my best asset because it paves the way for all of my dreams, much like a powerful currant like the waters can be. 💛 The me that knows it will be okay. Because this life is much like water, it never stays the same as it ebbs and flows. It’s a mystical cycle that reminds us how small we are compared to the big picture of this journey called life. 🤗 How refreshing is that ocean breeze. • 𝓈𝒽𝒶𝓉𝓉𝑒𝓇𝑒𝒹 • #writersofinstagram #wanderer #transformationtuesday #bellaoflouisville ✨
{ 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝒷𝒾𝓇𝓉𝒽𝒹𝒶𝓎 𝒸𝒽𝑒𝒸𝓀-𝒾𝓃 } It’s my birthday week, and while there is so much happening in our world that impacts each of us in a multitude of ways, there is still so much I’m grateful for. • I have a loving husband, kids, mom, extended family, and my fur babies. • I’m in remission with my autoimmune diseases. While I still have bad days, the good ones overshadow them. • I’m growing my career with education to continue chasing my dreams. • I have a loving roof over my head, cozy clothes on my back, and inner peace about things I cannot control. • It might not sound like much, but for me, life has given me more than I’ve ever prayed for. • I’ve “socially distanced” myself IRL and digitally with COVID to focus on family and my faith. I’m re-emerging into the world with a renewed sense of contentment and optimism. I’m ready to shed the 37-year-old shell to joyfully leap into 38 with all the hope I can muster. ✨ Cheers to this wild journey we call life! 🥃 #anotheryearwiser #cheers #celebrateeveryday
