Why Boulder? Why Chautauqua? 

Boulder, Colorado is the ideal place to host a TEDx event due to its vibrant intellectual and creative community.

We hope the same happens this year on September 22 tocreate a setting of togetherness and reconnection.

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 TEDxBoulder, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxBoulder 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.
