One of the largest TEDx events in the world calls Boulder home

Since 2010, every fall has seen a remarkable community event in Boulder. 2200 people gather to hear world class speakers expand on experiences and actions they have had on ideas. We pride ourselves on the quality of the event and that shows — we have had six videos reedited and featured on TED.com. The community has shown great love and value in the event as it has sold out each year.
