Bio:
As a fifth-generation Las Vegan, Dr. Bo Bernhard proudly calls "Sin City" his home, but he works frequently in international gaming jurisdictions as diverse as South Africa, Australia, Singapore, South Korea, Macao, Vietnam, Taiwan, Japan, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Russia, Portugal, Austria, Greece, Spain, Sweden, the UK, and Canada. He began focusing on global gaming issues as an undergraduate at Harvard University, where he captained the baseball team, earned three letters and an MVP award for the nationally-ranked soccer team, and completed a double major (sociology and psychology) magna cum laude thesis on the micro and macro impacts of the gaming industry.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
