TEDxStAlbert - Evan Chrapko - Crap is Cool November 15, 2011

Favorite:

Evan V Chrapko, CA, JD and his brother Shane Chrapko, P.Ag., co-founded and, 30 months later, orchestrated the CAD$811 Million exit of DocSpace. Evan is currently a full-time co-CEO with Shane for www.GrowingPower.com and also for www.Highmark.ca. They are in the business of converting tens of thousands of tons of bioWaste every year into clean, green energy. Growing Power is a multi-million dollar waste to energy plant in Alberta.

Evan and Shane are proud principals of one of the world's most northern-latitude wineries, which is also 100% certified organic. Its agricultural value-add/agri-tourism mission is executed on the family farm est. 1927, and is run by their mother and two sisters. Its wine and mead is featured in restaurants and at farmers' markets across Alberta (www.BirdsAndBeesWinery.com) They recently had to quintuple production, which had already been tripled shortly before that, in order to keep up with demand.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
