FESTIVAL OVERVIEW Welcome to the first annual Dallas Festival of Ideas! We’re delighted to have you with us for
Friday, February 27
an event that we believe will pave the way for an important new tradition in Dallas—
The festival will kick-off on Friday, February 27, with a two-hour signature event at the Dallas City Performance Hall that will celebrate ideas both visually and intellectually. Ideas for five Cities will be unveiled in 15-minute presentations by a keynote speaker. Each of these presentations will be followed by five-minute interpretive performances from local artists and performers, curated by Will Richey of Journeyman Ink and David Rodriguez of Dr Gorilla and directed by Lee Trull of Dallas Theater Center.
a yearly harvesting of big, bold ideas with an eye toward action to make them realities in the shaping of our city. That’s why we’re saying that this Festival is—and always will be—“For the City.” We’ve brought together five exceptional “City teams” of thinkers and speakers, some from out of town but mostly our own, and an amazing lineup of talented performers, all from Dallas, to highlight and embellish the bold new ideas we expect to burst forth during these two days. We’ve also enjoyed some remarkable support from businesses, civic organizations and individuals throughout our community who see an annual Festival’s key potential in determining what our city will become as the future unfolds. All the pieces are in place—and the final part to be played is yours. We invite you to consider the beautiful Dallas Arts District as your “campus” or your “stage,” and take in as much of the Festival as you can. And most important of all, let us hear your voice. After all, this first-ever Dallas Festival of Ideas is for you. It’s “For the City.”
Saturday, February 28 Expert moderators will drill down into ideas for these Cities through unscripted discussions amongst the keynotes, the festival’s panelists and invited audience participation. Each City panel will take place Saturday morning and afternoon at Booker T. Washington High School, the Dallas City Performance Hall, the Dallas Museum of Art, the Crow Collection of Asian Art, and the Meyerson Symphony Center. Nonprofit groups, change organizations, interactive stations, visual art and performances celebrating the ideas of local talent will take place at the Winspear Opera House throughout the day. The festival will culminate in a wrap-up session that will charge each City moderator with highlighting one or two tangible ideas that will create action beyond the festival. Closing remarks of Community and Compassion will be offered by T.D. Jakes, CEO of TDJ Enterprises, founder and chief architect of Megafest, and Senior Pastor of the Potter’s House.
Food & Beverage

The Physical City
Luis Alberto Urrea is a prolific and award-winning writer. He is a master of language and a gifted storyteller who uses his dual-culture life experiences to explore greater themes of love, loss and triumph. Born in Tijuana, Mexico, to a Mexican father and an American mother, Urrea grew up in San Diego, California. As a young man, Urrea served as a relief worker amongst people living in the Tijuana garbage dumps prior to receiving a teaching Fellowship to Harvard University. “The border” has defined his life and colored much of his writing. Regarding this point, he once said, “the border is simply a metaphor that makes it easier for me to write about the things that separate people all over the world, even when they think there is no fence.” The author of 14 books, Urrea has published extensively in many genres and has received many prestigious awards. In 2009, on a bit of a whim, he wrote his first-ever mystery short story (Amapola) and won nothing less than an Edgar Award. The Devil’s Highway, his 2004 non-fiction account of a group of Mexican immigrants lost in the Arizona desert, won the Lannan Literary Award and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. His highly acclaimed historical novels; The Hummingbird’s Daughter and Queen of America involved more than 20 years of research and writing. Collectively The Devil’s Highway, The Humming Bird’s Daughter and his 2008 novel Into the Beautiful North have been chosen by more than 30 different cities and colleges across the country for One Book community reading programs.

The Innovative City
An Atlantic senior editor and writer, Ta-Nehisi Coates has penned many influential articles. One of the most famous, “This is How We Lost to the White Man,” is a searingly honest look at the generational and ideological rifts in the black community; its title is a quote by Bill Cosby. Last year, Coates’s lively Atlantic blog—a lesson in how to thoroughly engage a community of readers—was named by Time magazine as one of the 25 Best in the World.
In August 2008, she joined Barack Obama’s New Media Team at the Chicago headquarters as a full-time volunteer during the Presidential election campaign. In 2009, she published a book about her experiences, titled Yes We Did! An Insider’s Look at How Social Media Built the Obama Brand. She is also the co-author of New York Times best-seller The Decoded Company: Know Your Talent Better Than You Know Your Customers, which explores how big data can increase employee success and satisfaction, and encourage corporate growth. She is currently working on her third book, entitled ArchiTechs: How to Live, Work & Govern in a HyperConnected World.
Coates’ critically hailed debut, The Beautiful Struggle, is a tough, touching memoir of growing up in Baltimore during the age of crack. It’s also a vivid portrait of his father, a former Vietnam vet and Black Panther who started his own underground black press and dedicated his life to carrying his sons across the shoals of inner city adolescence. He is currently writing his first novel, about an interracial family in pre-Civil War Virginia.

THE EDUCATED CITY | BOOKER T. WASHINGTON HIGH SCHOOL 9:00 A.M. - 10:00 A.M. | 3:30 - 4:30 P.M.
The Educated City Keynote Speaker: Elizabeth Green Co-Founder, CEO & editor-in-chief, Chalkbeat Magazine Elizabeth Green is the author of New York Times bestseller Building a Better Teacher, a groundbreaking new book that examines the hidden science behind the art of teaching. Her talks equip teachers and policymakers who want to improve the skills of our educators, and show parents what they should expect from the classroom. We’ve all had great teachers who opened our minds, and maybe even changed our lives. But how can we make every teacher a “star” teacher? Green’s book Building a Better Teacher: How Teaching Works (and How to Teach It to Everyone) presents teaching as a complex skill—one that requires infrastructure for support and training. She gives examples of the methods America’s best educators are using in the classroom, as well as how Japan’s education system has adopted policies that have changed teachers across the country. Green is co-founder, CEO, and editor-in-chief of Chalkbeat, a nonprofit news organization that covers educational change efforts across the country. She previously co-founded GothamSchools, now Chalkbeat New York. She has written for The New York Times Magazine, The New York Sun, and U.S. News & World Report. She was an Abe Journalism Fellow studying education in Japan and a Spencer Fellow in education journalism at Columbia University. She serves on the board of the Education Writers Association.
