In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that brings people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxRitenourRoad, where x = independently organized event. This event takes place in St. Louis County, Missouri. At TEDxRitenourRoad, TEDTalks, videos, 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. In honor of the innovation and diversity efforts in St. Louis these last few years, TEDxRitenourRoad will explore the theme Speak Up through two talk groupings: one on the dissolution of stigma and the other on consciousness raising, which, when paired, together, can not only break through suffocating silences, but also elevate our awareness about those very ideas – ideas worth spreading!
See you there!
