Each talk is being professionally video recorded and will be available free online after the event along with thousands of other TEDx talks from around the globe.
For those not able to attend or not able to purchase as many tickets as they would like, there is good news. The TEDxTryon Volunteer team and the TFAC staff are already exploring further events throughout the year to continue the TEDx experience in our community.
TED is a platform for ideas worth spreading. Started in 1984 as a conference where technology, entertainment and design converged, TED today shares ideas from a broad spectrum — from science to business to global issues — in more than 100 languages. Meanwhile, independent TEDx events help share ideas in communities around the world. TEDxTryon is a locally organized event and is a special project of the Arts and Education committee of Tryon Fine Arts Center. For more information visit TEDxTryon.com or call TFAC at 828-859-8322.
