TedxConejo2012 – TOGETHER – March 31, 2012
Under the theme “Together,” the 3rd Edition of TEDxConejo explores the always fascinating, often inspiring, occasionally surprising and sometimes vexing interconnectedness of our world. Join us when we get “together” on March 31st, 2012 at the Scherr Forum in the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza.
Welcome!
Welcome to TEDxConejo, the Conejo Valley’s forum for ideas worth sharing. Now in its 3rd year and produced in association with the Conejo Valley Unified School District, TEDxConejo is developing into an exciting community of thinkers, and doers, interested and interesting people of all ages and backgrounds. Each year hundreds gather for a day of stimulating short talks and engaging discussion. The program is as diverse as the interests of the audience.
This March 31, 2012, TEDxConejo once again fills the Scherr Forum at the Thousand Oaks Civics Arts Plaza to explore our connected world.
Together
“Together” is the general theme of TEDxConejo2012. It is a broad topic designed to explore the always fascinating, often inspiring, occasionally surprising and sometimes vexing interconnectedness of our world. Speakers and presenters from the arts and sciences, business and economics, public service and philanthropy, education and learning, psychology and medicine, entertainment and technology, and others, will share ideas through signature talks delivered in 18 minutes or less.
TEDxConejo
TEDxConejo, established in the inaugural year of the TEDx program, was the first TEDx to be produced in association with a Unified Public School District. Our event is open to the entire community and welcomes the general public, lifetime learners, high school and college students, educators and parents – anyone with a passion for ideas. TEDxConejo is entirely funded through ticket sales, sponsorships and donations made through the Conejo Schools Foundation. In addition to TEDxConejo, held annually in March, the first TEDxYouth event was held in November 2011.
The TEDx program initiated in 2009 by TED, the internationally recognized non-profit committed to ideas worth sharing, enables the local production of independently organized TED-like events. There have since been thousands of locally events on every continent and more than 10,000 TEDxTalks have been posted online.
TED 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 two annual conferences — the TED Conference in Long Beach and Palm Springs each spring, and the TEDGlobal conference in Edinburgh UK each summer — TED includes the award-winning TEDTalks video site, the Open Translation Project and TED Conversations, the inspiring TED Fellows and TEDx programs, and the annual TED Prize.
