Last year, Houston was privileged to get its first TEDx event. It was an overwhelming success due to the hard work and curation of the steering committee led by the team at Houston’s premier designshop Culture Pilot. This year is going to be bigger and better. Held at the Wortham Theater on University of Houston’s Campus, the event will be a Houston focused series of speakers and performers around the topic of ‘Where Do We Go From Here?”. The idea behind TED and open source version TEDx is that you put interesting people on stage talking about interesting ideas to an audience specifically chosen to be interested and you end up with a powerful energizing force. It’s difficult to explain in words the feeling you get from attending an event like this – it’s not so much educational as inspirational. The only thing that you can expect from an event like this is that your mind will be blown. You still have a week to apply for attendance, volunteering, or sponsorship here.
EDIT:
For those that aren’t able to attend in person, TEDxHouston is generously streaming the entire event via Livestream right from their website: http://www.livestream.com/tedx
Taft Street Coffee 2115 Taft will also be simulcasting the event until 4pm today.
