I.D.E.A., a new student organization, is hosting TEDxCornellUniversity, a local, self-organized event, which aims to gather a community of people to spark deep discussion and connection through TEDTalks presentations, videos and live speakers. Last semester's conference was a huge success - see the Fall 2011 list of speakers and watch their talks here. The theme of this semester's conference is: "Progress with Passion." Read about the speakers for this conference here. Please visit our Facebook page for the latest updates.
TED is a nonprofit that began in 1984 as an annual conference devoted to Technology, Entertainment and Design. TEDTalks now covers science, arts, politics, global issues, architecture, music and more under their umbrella. At the heart of it's philosophy is the tenet of bringing people together to share "Ideas Worth Spreading".
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
