About TEDxPhoenix 2011
In 2009, TED launched the TEDx program with the goal of bringing the TED experience to local communities around the world. In July of this year, the TED and TEDx communities celebrated 2000 events worldwide, and TEDxPhoenix is proud to be a part of a global community that is helping bring great ideas to towns and cities across the globe.
TEDxPhoenix is an evening event where engaging speakers from a variety of disciplines share their life's work, passions, and concepts through thought-provoking and entertaining talks that run between 3 to 15 minutes in length. The event combines live talks, musical performances, food, and opportunities to network and discover unexpected connections.
The theme for 11.11.11 is "_______ for a Change" and features speakers who are exploring unique ideas that have brought about unexpected, interesting, and positive changes. The blank in "_______ for a Change" is filled by each speaker's topic.
Ultimately TEDxPhoenix is an incubator for great ideas, a perfect opportunity to meet people who are doing interesting things, and a way to explore the interconnectivity that joins us. Our mission is simple, we want to gather the Valley's leading thinkers and doers and offer them one evening of remarkable talks, unexpected connections, and powerful insight and inspiration.
