CHRISTIAN LONG – TEDxBloomington Curator, Co-Event Planner, Speaker Director, IU Alum

By Play / Boston Red Sox fan (with a son named Beckett), skier, lifelong nomad/explorer, summer camp counselor at heart, proudly married to the woman he hopes to grow up and “be” one day, and someone who loves being the dumbest guy in the room as long as he can be the most madly curious. Having grown up in the Maine woods, he favors climbing trees covered in sap to being stuck on the ground. He also lives vicariously through the wonderlust discoveries of his toddler son, Beckett, and baby girl, Berkeley.

By Day / Christian is an educator, school planner, technology curiosity seeker, speaker, consultant, and passionate advocate for innovative learning communities. Additionally, he is founder of the “Be Playful | Studio & Design,” a collaborative global consulting team focused on the intersection between school design, emerging technology, and learning theory.
