What is TEDxConcordiaUPortland?

This is something we get asked every day. It is a fun question to answer… It’s an independently organized and licensed offshoot of TED, you know, the huge speaking event with “ideas worth spreading”. The event where they provide a way for us to hear great ideas from thinkers who have an idea that is changing the world. The one where amazing individuals are giving an 18-minute or less “talk of a lifetime”.

Concordia University is organiz
ing its own event featuring the individuals and organizations that inspire people to make Portland great. We’re calling it TEDxConcordiaUPortland. The Bus Project, sustainability, alternative models of education, community service, innovative living and, naturally, food carts all come into play. That’s not everything it’ll cover, though. Portland’s great for a lot of other reasons, too. 


Probably too much to cover in a one-day event.

We just want to share some of Portland’s “ideas worth spreading” to a larger audience. We’re starting with speakers, innovations, and ideas that motivate us in a manner that makes us want to get up and go take action.
