There is still time to submit your application for the inaugural TEDxDetroit, which is taking place October 21, 2009.

What is TEDxDetroit? It’s an event that will bring together the area’s leading creators, catalysts, entrepreneurs, artists, technologists, designers, scientists, thinkers, and doers to share positive ideas for the world from Detroit.

TEDxDetroit will embody the spirit that began with TED, a small nonprofit that brings together people from around the world to share ideas in Technology, Entertainment, Design.

Attendance at TEDxDetroit is by application and space is very limited. There is also an attendance fee in the form of a $20 donation to the TEDxDetroit charity partner Public Art Workz.

Why an application form for a conference? TEDxDetroit explains:

The TEDxDetroit Attendee Application form is not a typical conference registration form. We’re looking for people who will be a strong contributor to the TEDxDetroit experience and the ideas discussed at TEDxDetroit.

Only a very limited number of seats are available at this first TEDxDetroit. Our aim is to curate a stimulating exchange of ideas among a diverse group of peers. We hope to continue to grow the size of TEDxDetroit with future events.

Along with the event, there will be a networking lunch hosted by LA2M and a Tweet-up afterward. To learn more, visit the TEDxDetroit website.
