What’s TEDxConcordiaUPortland?

This is something we get asked every day. It is a fun question to answer… It’s an independently organized and licensed offshoot of TED, you know, the huge speaking event with “ideas worth spreading”. The one where they provide a way for us to hear great ideas from THINKers who have an idea that is changing the world. The event where amazing individuals are giving an 18 minute or less “talk of a lifetime”.

Concordia University is independently organizing it’s own take on the people and organizations that INSPIRE and make Portland great and we’re calling it TEDxConcordiaUPortland. The Bus Project, sustainability, alternative models of education, community service, innovative living and, naturally, food carts all come into play. That’s not everything it’ll cover, though. Portland’s great for a lot of other reasons too.

Probably too many reasons to cover in a one-day event.

We just want to share some of Portland’s “ideas worth spreading” to a larger audience.
