A Sarasota version of TED talks inspires ideas

In 1999, the van Lindonks launched PINC — People, Ideas, Nature and Creativity — as an annual, daylong conference in Zeist, Holland, mimicking the TED format with a series of presentations by speakers from diverse disciplines and backgrounds. In late 2014, PINC made its American debut with a sold-out event at the Florida Studio Theatre in downtown Sarasota. At the third annual conference in December, PINC’s speaker lineup will include an “explanation designer,” “artographer” and professor of animal science.
