The Two Pillars of TED: What is the TEDxCSU Experience?

The first pillar of TED are the talks; these talks come from fascinating speakers who will share their “Idea Worth Spreading.” We hope you find them powerful and we hope they expend your perspectives. The second pillar of TED is the experience outside of the talks. We encourage you to interact with fellow audience members and engage with the talks to make the most of your experience. Intermissions will provide an opportunity for conversation and further opportunities to expand your perspectives. We will provide name tags that will give you the opportunity to identify three of your interests. Start thinking now, what would you like to talk to other people about at the event! What are your three passions?
