Over the last year or so I have become quite a fan of TED. The incredible assemblage of talent, intelligence, and personality that gather each year to present new and exciting concepts and ideas is quite mind-boggling. Guess what? TEDx is coming to Naperville in March of 2010. The information below is excerpted from their site.

—————————————–

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 TEDxNaperville, where x=independently organized TED event. At our TEDxNaperville 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.
