In its fourth year TEDx Tauranga has delighted and inspired listeners, who travelled here from all over the North Island. "I love TED talks. Mount local Tina Bergen went to Tauranga TEDx last year, and became hooked, so much so that she convinced her friend to come up from Wellington for it this year. Her friend, Juanita McKenzie, of Wellington, said she loved TED talks and was excited when Ms Bergen called to say there was one happening in Tauranga. Between talks people could check out Comvita's virtual reality, Obco's electric farm bikes and two Tesla all-electric cars, Ms Sutherland-Hansen said.
