SiliconPrairieSocial proudly sponsored TEDxNaperville 2011 ”Good Happens” on November 11, 2011 at the Grounds for Hope Cafe in the Trinity building, 2701 Maple Ave., Lisle, Illinois 60532. The theme this year was “Good Happens.”
TED is an annual event where some of the world’s leading thinkers and doers are invited to share what they are most passionate about. “TED” stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design — three broad subject areas that are, collectively, shaping our future.
And in fact, the event is broader still, showcasing ideas that matter in any discipline. Attendees have called it “the ultimate brain spa” and “a four-day journey into the future.” The diverse audience — CEOs, scientists, creatives, philanthropists – is almost as extraordinary as the speakers, who have included Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Jane Goodall, Frank Gehry, Paul Simon, Sir Richard Branson, Philippe Starck and Bono.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x=independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.
TEDxNaperville will foster the spread and application of great ideas around the theme, “Good Happens.” Imagine Naperville and Chicagolands most fascinating and engaging presenters, artists, and thinkers, coming together for one day to share their passions, and discuss their visions for the world, all with the underlying theme of how Good Happens.
