Last week, we announced that tickets are officially on sale for TEDxBoulder 2013. This week, they’ve opened up ticket sales to the only pre-TEDxBoulder event for 2013: TEDxBoulder Beta on August 22.

Applied Trust — a mainstay in the Boulder tech community — and TEDxBoulder have created an event where the community can mix, mingle, and get to meet the speakers on this year’s slate. An added bonus? Live music! Here are the event details:

Speaker applications for TEDxBoulder 2013 close on August 5 and speakers will be announced shortly thereafter. When you come on down to this year’s TEDxBoulder Beta, you’ll get to hear from many of the speakers. Their topics, background — come ask questions and meet your fellow community members as they gear up for one of the biggest speaking engagements of their careers. And no — most won’t be professional speakers. They’ll be people, just like you, who have ideas worth spreading.
