TEDxMadtown 2011 explored big ideas for the future of the state of Wisconsin's economy and education system. The event brought together 15 of the region’s most innovative minds and a growing cadre of TEDx enthusiasts. Our goal for the event was to create a stimulating environment for sharing ideas and connections so create new projects related to education and the state's economy. We are pretty sure we accomplished that! Survey results were overwhelming positive about the experience.

We gathered at Promega on a typical Wisconsin March day. The energy in the room was incredible. Speakers did a great job conveying their ideas. People were sharing during breaks. A good time was had by all. Lots of interest in organizing the next TEDx for Madison.
