We’re excited and sad that Kris Krug can no longer speak at TEDxYYC. Kris has been offered the opportunity of a lifetime to work on a documentary in the South Pacific and sends his regrets. Congrats, Kris! It just goes to show how amazing you are. If you don’t already follow his droplets of wisdom, hipster-ness and photo uploads, get on Twitter NOW!
So, what does the speaker line-up look like? Voila!
