TEDxColumbiaCollegeSC is a local independently organized event curated by the Columbia College TEDx team. Our goal is to create a TED-like experience here in Columbia with an event consisting of student, faculty, staff, alumni and local speakers giving their own TEDx Talks to an eager audience. At its core, the fundamental goal of TED and TEDx is to spread great ideas, mostly through TED talks. Our theme is “Staying Connected”, and we hope these talks will touch upon topics that impact our local community directly while also being of interest to a global audience.
This independent TEDx event is operated under license from TED.
What is TEDx?: In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxLFHS where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxLFHS 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.
About TEDx, x = independently organized event
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. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)
As more details like speakers and agenda become available, those details will be posted to this page. Check back for more information soon!
