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:

TEDxTampaBaySalon September Highlights – Ethics

September 20, 2011 by Leave a comment

TEDx fans packed Tre Amici Monday evening to engage in passionate discussions about two TED talks relating to ethics. We screened Paul Wolpe’s talk on questioning bioengineering and Damon Horowitz’s talk about moral frameworks.  The eclectic crowd, who would rather delve into this deep philosophical discussion than watch Monday night television, discussed how humans have the power to change their own DNA, create new organisms, and use information and data to affect masses of people. The overarching question was although we have power to do all of these things, should we?  And if we proceed, what is the moral framework through which we continue?

Although philosophical questions like these aren’t easy to answer, the diverse crowd contributed to a deeply developed discussion that broadened individual perspectives.  There definitely wasn’t any “group think” going on at this event!

TEDxTampaBaySalon August Highlights – Where Ideas Come From

August 16, 2011 by Leave a comment

TEDxTampaBaySalon attendees swelled Tre Amici as the evening unfolded. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee mingled with the smells of freshly grilled sandwiches and rich red wines as the first TED video played.  The Night’s theme was Where Ideas Come From, and the gathered crowd was more than ready to share ideas.

We screened Steven Johnson’s talk “Where Good Ideas Come From” and Matt Ridley’s Talk “When Ideas Have Sex“.

Several new possible projects emerged from the evening, many people made new acquaintances, and the passion and energy around ideas sparked energy and imaginations as ideas about art mingled with ideas about physical activity and open content.  What a mash-up of ideas (Our ideas had sex!).
