The theme for the inaugural event is Intimate Space. Fairbanks is an intimate space. Not only are we literally in the heart of interior Alaska; we are a cultural, social, political, and economic hub for many smaller communities throughout the state. Fairbanks - and to a larger extent - Alaska - is not an easy place to live, yet we still call this place home. In our first TEDx Fairbanks event we will explore what it means to have an intimate space in an expansive environment.
We will explore the value of a strong and resilient community built on good communication and respect for one another. To this end, let us strive to be understood, and listen to understand. Lets work together to create this intimate space at TEDxFairbanks 2016.
About TEDx.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection within local communities. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized and subject to certain rules and regulations.
The TEDx initiative grants free licenses to people around the world to organize TED-style events in their communities with TED Talks and live speakers. Selected talks from these events are published on TED.com.
