Tedxseattle

The mission of TEDxSeattle is to create events and gatherings that are self-sustaining and enrich our audience, our speakers, our volunteers and our partners. In the spirit of TED’s Ideas Worth Spreading, TEDxSeattle is a unique gathering for the Greater Seattle community. The all-volunteer staff seeks to create events that are educational, inspiring, and motivational. The main event each November is a unique day long event of curated and coached talks, demonstrations, and performances showcasing inspirational work from all areas of our community. The goal over the course of the day is to provide a catalyst to empower at least some of those attending to envision and explore a new reality for themselves, their community, possibly the world. WHAT IS TEDX? 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. Our event is called TEDxSeattle, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxSeattle event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized. This independent TEDx event is operated under license from TED.
