Dallas, TX (September 17, 2013) – San Francisco based photographer Lisa Kristine returns as a featured speaker at the 2013 TEDxOrangeCoast annual conference. The event will be held at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Costa Mesa, CA September 20th and 21st.

Lisa Kristine has impacted the photographic community for over two decades with her stunning documentation of indigenous cultures throughout the world. In 2012 Lisa brought her powerful images and stories to TEDxMaui and will continue to illuminate the plight of the 27 million souls enslaved worldwide at this year’s event.

TEDx was created in the spirit of TED’s mission, “ideas worth spreading.” TEDx events are fully planned and coordinated independently, bringing people together to share a TED-like experience. TEDxOrangeCoast brings together a like-minded community of curious, highly engaged learners committed to inspiring change through positive actions.

Lisa will be available for scheduled media interviews at the Innovation Alley. Innovator Alley is a unique opportunity to experience the latest innovations coming from five continents from TEDx participants.
