Lane is a 16-year-old entrepreneur. Since age five, he's had a strong passion for technology, business, and entrepreneurship. He's grown up with technology integrated in his daily life. At age 11, he started KidCriticUSA, writing reviews by a kid, for kids and families that gave a tween view of products, movies, and more. He speaks regularly about social media, online privacy, entrepreneurship, marketing, and millennials to conferences, companies, professionals, colleges, and students. Digital is a second language for many members of Gen Z and beyond, so he brings a unique perspective both as a teen and someone who can offer a business or marketing point of view. When Lane started working with his first client back, he was eleven years old and she was just starting out on Twitter; today, he's helped her reach 7,500 followers within a special needs community, and he still works with her today. During the day, he can be found learning at high school and serving as Treasurer for his class. More information about TEDxRedmond and other speakers can be found at www.tedxredmond.com In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
