We officially began organizing the TEDxUD event this week, an independently run conference under license from TED. Personally, I'll be snuggled behind the Twitter account, @TEDxUD, and helping with the social media efforts. The TED Talks are a thing of beauty and if you aren't familiar I highly recommend visiting their website. They bring together the brightest minds from around the world to discuss cutting edge ideas and the general state of human progress, all in less than 20 minutes.
TEDx is a branch of the organization aimed at delivering smaller, more localized talks. Don't let the size fool you, though- these are some of the most enlightened individuals I've ever had the pleasure of hearing speak. To be part of the TEDxUD team is an honor and a thrill, and the enthusiasm and determination present in the rest of the Executive Planning Committee ensure an amazing experience from planning until the curtains fall... if the stage has curtains; we haven't got that far yet.
