A wonderful line-up of passionate and innovative speakers sharing their ideas on how to take the industry to new heights. David Zoltan did a fantastic job curating the talks and linking them together. The Symphony Center was a very comfortable setting that fostered great discussions between sessions. Great job, David and the rest of the TEDxMichiganAve team!Written on May 09 2011

It was great to get in a room with some creative people I've only met online, and hear their best packaging of their ideas. I wish more of the people had been new and unknown to me, though, and I wish there'd been more art forms than theater and music represented.Written on May 13 2011

I really enjoyed this TEDx arts day / conference / whatever you want to call it. A bunch of arts go-getters in one room! I came away with a lot of good ideas for my own projects. At first I wasn't sure how much I would enjoy watching the videos since I could watch those at home, but they showed videos I hadn't noticed before and it's great to discuss them with others. Overall, I was thrilled that this all came together. Thank you!Written on May 09 2011

My first time going to TED, and quality of the speakers varies, overall disappointing. Some were extremely boring (reading from the notes the entire time). There were a couple of insightful ideas, but among which few provide any solution to the problem discussed. Certainly does not worth $30. Very low turn out, 90% people attending were speakers or speaker's family and friends if any.Written on May 09 2011

About the Host:
David Zoltan has lived a dozen lives between his departure from and return to the nonprofit arts world. Whether working as a secretary or running a business, selling cars or owning a game store, the arts have always been his passion, especially theatre, and he’s excited to be back with his first love. Yet David still thinks of himself as an entrepreneur at heart, and has the scars from innumerable battles over strategy and policy to prove it.
While David specializes in individual giving, events and social media, he tends to take a holistic approach to all of his endeavors. His most prominent work has been as a fundraiser for the Steppenwolf Theatre and BackStage Theatre companies. He is currently a thought leader in arts management for his new social media venture, ArtsAppeal.org, has a seat on the Governors Circle of the Steppenwolf Auxiliary Council and was instrumental in developing the Victory Gardens Theatre’s young professionals group, Pulp.
A native of Detroit, David received his B.A. at Michigan State in East Lansing and his Masters of Arts Management from Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, but calls Chicago the best home he’s ever known.
