The world often requires people to think in terms of black and white. Rigid, unbendable choices seem to close us in sometimes. After a while, life seems more monochrome than ever. But we live in a world of color, and texture, and music!

This year, we at TEDxTucson challenge you to imagine our new world. We invite you to imagine, to question, to be vulnerable, to doubt, and to gain new perspective. Expose yourself to the ideas that help create our chaotic—but dazzling—world of color.

Imagine! is our annual conference where we bring together Brilliant Minds and Intriguing Ideas on One Stage. You’ll meet a diverse and curated collection of inspired speakers, sharing their ideas on topics ranging from virtual reality to the power of poetics, from becoming present to sustainability in the desert.

TEDxTucson creates unique community events featuring diverse, multi-generational thought leaders from all walks of life. We support contemporary themes and highly interactive learning. We facilitate community discussions so that, together, we can envision the impact of emerging ideas.

We will begin our journey together at 9 am on January 14 at the Berger Theater where we will listen to incredible speakers, play together, talk together, explore ideas, and eat! We will experience oversized toys, collaborative art and music. Connect, explore, network, and enjoy!

TEDxTucson has become a major source for brilliant ideas and innovative change. We create local experiences based on the original TED conference, an event where Technology, Entertainment and Design converged. Today, TED covers almost all topics that are shaping our future—from science, to business, to global issues.
