What is ?
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a local, self-organized event program that brings people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxMaryville College, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxMaryville College 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.TEDx events are not agenda or single-topic driven.
The Purpose
An independently organized TEDx conference showcasing the best and most thought-provoking ideas in the Blount County area. This conference will be hosted on the beautiful Maryville College campus and features multiple speakers that showcase the best our region has to offer.
The purpose of this TEDxMaryville College event is to share knowledge and ideas that are unique to Maryville College. The diverse community, which will include students, professors, and professionals, will provide interesting and inspiring stories and ideas which need to be shared across the community. This event is the perfect opportunity for students and the public to expand their knowledge, as well as for inspiring members of the community to provoke thinking and analysis across a diverse audience.
TEDxMaryville College is a multidisciplinary event, focused on the power of ideas to change lives and ultimately, the world.
The Theme:
"Journey Across Mindsets"
Ride with us on a voyage into the minds, perspectives, and thoughts of others as we cross different generations of people, observing how people of different cultures wrestled with adversity and sustainability. Our goal is to unveil hidden interconnections of how values, ideas, cultures, habits, and actions are exchangeable within or between communities, societies, and generations, regardless of physical boundaries. It’s an opportunity to get on an express train to watch how ideas are expressed uniquely.
