“At the end of my life, I want to be able to say I contributed more than I criticized.”

“People don’t remember what you say as much as they remember what they see when you say it.”

“An innovator is one who does not know it cannot be done.”

“Working hard for something you love is called passion.”

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 TEDxCrocetta, where x = independently organized TED event.

At our TEDxCrocetta 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.
