<abstract><p>Organized by Queen's students, Changing the World aims to bring together the
world's greatest visionaries to inspire people to innovate and better our
world. Among these speakers include Nobel Peace Prize winner, Eric Chivian.
He was a recipient for his work on stopping nuclear war.
</p><p>The conference is modeled after TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design), an
annual conference uniting the world's most fascinating thinkers and doers,
and like TED, each speaker is given 18 minutes to give the talk of their
lives.
</p><p>Specifically for students in CS/Math, 50 tickets have been
reserved (non-students: $500). For those who would like to attend,
please pick up your ticket in the Computer Science Club office. The tickets are
limited and they are first come first serve.
