Come join us Saturday, August 8th at TEDxSunnyvale!
Watch, discuss, and participate.

Is it better to give than to receive? When is it okay to ask for help? Richard Saul Wurman, the CoFounder of the TED Conference, said “If you don’t ask you don’t get.”

We’re going to explore both taking and giving, and will share and discuss some great stories about taking and giving.

INSPIRATION:
There are over 2,000 TED talks on TED.com, and over 50,000 talks from TEDx events from all around the world. TEDxSunnyvale exists to bring some of the best of those talks together with passionate people to view and to ignite discussion.

LIVE ATTENDEES, NOT LIVE SPEAKERS:
So while we have live attendees, we won’t have live speakers. We’ll watch together and talk about what we’ve seen. We’ll network and meet new people.

CURATED TALKS, LIVE DISCUSSION:
Our event is structured just like any other TEDx event – with a Theme, and Sessions of talks lasting roughly an hour and a half. But in our event all the talks will be watched together on video, taken from both the TED and TEDx archives. By taking this lower-key approach to a TEDx event, we’re able to keep the costs very low, and we’re able to hold multiple events in a year.

LOW STRESS POLICY:
We keep the process of attending simple and casual. We ask only that you plan to be an active participant at the event.

There is limited free parking available, first-come, first served. There is free WiFi.
We’ll have coffee and bagels in the morning. At lunchtime we’ll get food nearby and bring it back to eat together.
