TEDxUniversityofCalgary

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 TEDxUniversityofCalgary, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxUniversityofCalgary event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The theme for this event is “Blueprint”. A blueprint is a guide for making something, a design or pattern that can be followed. A blueprint is also a map, a guide, a plan. A person can have a “blueprint for success”, or a blueprint that guides his/her life rooted in a particular religion or philosophy. There are “genetic blueprints”, recipes for making living things. Blueprints guide us through unfamiliar terrain, help TV characters in devising an escape plan from prison, but blueprints may also be outdated and lead us astray. They can be restricting, confusing, difficult to decipher. With so many ways to interpret a blueprint, we challenge our speakers to give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes or less. Admission to this event is FREE. If you are interested please visit our website at: http://tedxuniversityofcalgary.com/ and register online. Spaces are limited!
