I got an email a couple of weeks back at work inviting me to attend the Changing the World conference. I had never heard about the conference until now, even though it’s targeted towards young(ish, I’m still young right?) people. Organized by Queen’s University, they bring in world leaders who then give short, 18-minute talks that will inspire us to change the world! Ah young people are so idealistic.
The event is free for students, professors and teachers, while others have to pay $500 for a “Friend of Changing the World” ticket. IBM and some other companies sponsored the event so we got some free tickets as well. I guess I am a Friend of Changing the World since my ticket was $500 (and gold, I’ve never seen a gold Ticketmaster ticket).
Since Pauline is a teacher, she got to go too. Even though her ticket was “free” I still had to pay Ticketmaster $4.75 AND go out of my way to pick up the ticket. They should call it convenience free, not a convenience fee.
