TEDxConcordiaUPortland is an independently organized TED event. A team of diverse individuals have volunteered to bring together some of Portland's (or surrounding area) most innovative and inspiring minds. In 2012, we’re bringing the vision of TED back to Portland for the second time, to educate, inspire and connect great minds. On Saturday, March 31, 2012, TEDxConcordiaUPorland will host its second annual event titled "Becoming Extraordinary" at Concordia University, Portland, Oregon.

Every extraordinary action in the world stemmed from an ordinary person. This year's theme is designed to bring out each individual's own extraordinariness. Through this year's TEDx Talks, attendees will be inspired by real life examples of ordinary individuals who have been, done, or found their own extraordinariness to impact their world.
