A creative renaissance is transforming Richmond into an epicenter of innovation and creativity. On March 22, 2013, the inaugural TEDxRVA brought the concept CREATE into an open forum where audience and speakers together engaged in a symbiotic process of inspiration and creation. Beside the magnificent James River in this historic city, the event took place in The Power Plant, a building which housed the massive turbines that powered the first street cars in the United States.
As TEDxRVA unfolded, ideas melded with action, producing a showcase of what is possible when community comes together. Empty spaces functioned as blank canvases for audience engagement and spontaneous creative response. The result was an experience reflective of, and inspired by, the dynamic topics presented by our curated line-up of innovative creatives, storytellers, entrepreneurs and community leaders. Conversations created new connections and build frameworks for transitioning thoughts to tangible reality.
Creation is not a passive process – this event is a call to action. In embracing the spirit of TED and “ideas worth spreading,” TEDxRVA challenges all who are involved to redefine themselves as innovators and doers.
