TEDx is a lot of work. So, I asked Ken point blank: is it worth it?

—

“Yes. Absolutely yes. There’s such a massive synergy that happens after these events; so many new ideas, inspiration, and motivation that gets unleashed in the community. Every ounce of energy that gets put into this event gets repaid ten fold in what you get out of it.”

From the Innovate Montana article on what it takes to put on a TEDx event — and how TEDx is spreading throughout Montana: “TEDx is making its way across the state. Who’s next?” (via tedx)

tedx:

Last November, after our third TEDxColumbus event, my seven-year-old daughter said to me, “Mom, why can’t I do a TEDx event?”

I replied, “Why not?”

So, in February her wish came true: 15 kids took the stage and participated in the first TEDxKids event in the US that featured elementary school students: TEDxKids@NBCC

We organized it as a six-week workshop (every Friday afternoon) for their aftercare program, which drew kids in grades K-4 from four schools. We blogged about each of the five workshops (the sixth was the event!) here:http://articulationinc.com/category/tedxkidsnbcc/ to allow anyone to follow in our tracks.

TED and TEDx are powerful events because their organizers and staff don’t do it for the money or the fame – for which there is neither. They do it to make a difference. And people that do things out of passion, do them better.
