Tre Amici was standing room only as people from around Tampa Bay and beyond packed into the hip coffee shop in Ybor City to witness Jon Dengler tell his amazing story of sharing and generosity in an age of excess and materialism. Jon’s passionate talk reminded us that it is people, and not “stuff”, that has real value. Through intentional living, Jon and his community live together without air conditioning and other comforts to reduce their carbon footprint.  Best of all, Jon’s stories started halfway across the world, transplanted themselves here and now they are sprouting here in Tampa. Thanks, Jon.

Thanks to the Advanced Medical Practices Interest Group and Tampa Florida Attractions for helping us spread the word. Thank you, Drew Coffman of Birch Standard for your videography services and expertise. Thanks to the hard-working crew at Tre Amici for making us comfortable, serving awesome food and drinks, and making it look easy with a crowd of 60 people crammed into every spot in the place! Thanks to everyone who came out on Monday evening to share, engage, and meet new faces.

TEDxTampaBaySalon November Highlights

November 22, 2011 by Leave a comment

What a fun way to begin the holiday week! The TEDxTampaBaySalon November event theme was Crowdsourcing, and everyone enjoyed sharing their personal stories. After screening talks by Clay Shirkey and Eric Whitacre, animated discussions led perfectly into our crowdsourcing activity. We all divided up into teams with the intention of creating team-based art. Then teams swapped their “masterpieces” for another teams art and added even more detail.  The resulting fun, interesting, and funny pictures truly made us smile. Crowdsourcing is no only a powerful way to generate new ideas, solve problems, and bring people together, it is also fun! Thanks to everyone who participated.

Central Florida TEDx Events

October 26, 2011 by Leave a comment

TEDx Logo

TEDxTampaBay isn’t happening until April 20, 2012, but that doesn’t mean that the Central Florida TEDx community has to wait until then to enjoy the energy that surrounds a TEDx event. Several other regional TEDx events are taking place within 100 miles of each other over the next several weeks.

Although each of these events is independently organized and managed by separate and distinct TEDx teams, we’re all TED fans and support each other’s events in order to build a regional critical mass of big idea thinkers and doers in Central Florida!

The TEDxTampaBay team is proud to collaborate with the other regional teams — they’re all incredibly dedicated.  The most amazing part about these events is that none of the organizers get paid to host these events.  Furthermore, 100% of ticket fees go toward paying for the events. So, if you enjoy sharing big ideas and meeting like-minded people, consider supporting the TEDx community in Central Florida by attending one (or all) of these incredibly powerful local TEDx events.

Here’s a run-down on all of the upcoming events in our area over the next few months:

TEDxPoynterInstitute

Join in for deep, participatory discussions about the future of journalism with presenters, facilitators and fellow attendees from around the Bay area and beyond.
