A note of gratitude for Gen-i’s support of TEDxChCh 2010

5,000 people tuned into the livestream of the first ever TEDxChCh on October 22, 2010 — and the reason they were able to do so is that ICT company Gen-i came to the rescue, setting up two separate networks so tweeters and bloggers wouldn’t interrupt the broadcast.

And, in addition to their generosity in arranging the Wi-Fi connection, they also sponsored the afternoon tea, making sure that our attendees were fed and watered and powered up to face the rest of the afternoon.

Gen-i is an Australasian company that brings together IT and telecommunications services to provide converged ICT solutions for businesses across New Zealand and Australia.

What gets them out of bed in the morning? It’s knowing that they are making a real difference to Australasia’s best and brightest (like TEDxChCh)!

They say, “Our goal isn’t to achieve the predictable – it’s to redefine what’s possible for organisations on both sides of the Tasman.”

We’re delighted that they chose to redefine what’s possible for us in Christchurch and for the global TEDx community. Thanks, Gen-i!
