Why would the world's largest urban music festival need 40 Speakers? Because our ideas are part of what makes Life Beautiful. Mixing performers like Kanye West with leading scientists, activists, social media stars and business leaders,  the 2014 Festival's speakers included Penn & Teller, Pussy Riot, UFC champion Demetrious Johnson, chef Jose Andres, Game of Thrones conlanger David J. Petersen, former Mayor and mafia lawyer Oscar Goodman, pancake juggler Scot Nery, and Mel & Patricia Ziegler, the founders of Banana Republic.
