TEDxWindyCity

TEDx was created in the spirit of TED's mission, "ideas worth spreading." The program is designed to give communities, organizations and individuals the opportunity to stimulate dialogue through TED-like experiences at the local level.

At TEDx events, unique talks given by live speakers combine with TEDTalks videos to spark deep conversation and connections. TEDx events are fully planned and coordinated independently, on a community-by-community basis.

While the content and design of each TEDx event is unique and developed independently, all TEDx events have several features in common.

What you'll find at every TEDx event:

TED's celebrated format: A suite of short, carefully prepared talks, demonstrations and performances on a wide range of subjects to foster learning, inspiration and wonder -- and to provoke conversations that matter.

TEDTalks videos: A minimum of two pre-recorded talks from the acclaimed TEDTalks video series will be shown.

Bias-free programming: Lack of any commercial, religious or political agenda.

TEDxWindyCity is brought to you by Pivotal Production and the Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago.
