Sedona i-Talks Orientation

| Sedona i-Talks is a collection of short, dynamic "idea talks" delivered by Sedona's most fascinating thinkers and doers. The last i-Talks was a standing-room-only event, and videos of the speeches, available on the Library's YouTube channel, were watched by more than two thousand viewers.
On Monday, September 17, at 5:30 p.m., a short orientation will be held in the Si Birch Community Room for speakers interested in auditioning for the program. Audition dates will be announced at that time. Performances will take place at the Library in early November. Sedona i-Talks is a collaboration between the community's leading adult education organizations, the Library, and OLLI. |
