These are slightly less formal and not organized by the TED foundation. You can view a full list of speakers for TEDx <a href="http://tedxoilspill.com/speakers/" rel="nofollow">here</a>. Side note: There will be a TEDx UBC in a few months and TEDx Whistler was during the Paralympics. @Jeff TEDx conferences are different from TED conferences.

I'm curious though, what top minds are going to be at the conference and what are they top in? BP and those other companies involved with the spill should all be held accountable, including Halliburton. They did not have the right safeties in place, namely relief wells, that should have been drilled. They are currently drilling two relief wells in order to take the pressure off the main well so they can cap it, something that should have been done prior to the blowout. If the planned oil well goes in off the coast of BC lets hope they do it the right way and not the quick, easy way. Good to see people caring so much about the environment.
