TEDxUSC "Ideas Empowered" Conference
Think of TEDxUSC as a retreat with 1200 of your smartest friends. A time to explore new ideas, get inspired by visionary thinkers, and gain exposure to concepts and innovations you may not have ever seen before. A time to check-out from the day-to-day routine, and enter an afternoon of intellectual adventure.
|
|
And true to the format of the TED conference, TEDxUSC presenters will give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes or less.
TEDxUSC 2010 promises to be even more inspiring, jaw-dropping, and entertaining than ever before. The surprise presenter line-up will fascinate and delight guests, with mind-blowing technology demos, captivating talks, and stirring musical performances.
There are no breakout sessions. Everyone at TEDxUSC will share the same experience. Because of this, there are no “in-and-outs”. Once the doors close, they stay closed until the end.
TEDxUSC is an invitation-only event. To request an invitation for the 2010 TEDxUSC conference, click here.

WHAT HAPPENED AT TEDxUSC 2009?
|
 |
As the first to pioneer the TEDx program, the University of Southern California is the place where it all began.
In 2009, the TEDxUSC “Ideas Empowered” conference brought the spirit of the TED conference to USC – hosting some of the world's smartest thinkers, greatest visionaries, and most fascinating teachers to inspire a better understanding of the world and create a better future.
TEDxUSC reached nearly 50,000 people through outreach efforts, filled USC’s Bovard auditorium to capacity at 1200, and the four TEDxUSC talks that have been posted to TED.com have been seen by more than a half million people worldwide (that’s 6 Coliseums full!)
|
| Since TEDxUSC 2009, we have helped to create a model for a worldwide TEDx experience, helping kick off a world-wide success story through hundreds of smaller “TEDx” events in over 60 different countries. |
| Here's how the day will run: |

TED is a small nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design. Since then its scope has become ever broader. Along with the annual TED Conference in Long Beach, California, and the TEDGlobal conference in Oxford UK, TED includes the award-winning TEDTalks video site, the Open Translation Program, the new TEDx community program, this year's TEDIndia Conference and the annual TED Prize.
