What is TEDx?

Tampa is one of Florida’s original metropolitan cities, serving as a significant commerce, culture, and trade source. The legacy pillars of this community are evolving from cigars and exports to incubating a world-class living environment. As the city experiences a rebirth, an opportunity exists to craft a community founded on the inclusive success of its citizens. 

TEDxSouth Howard Avenue is a forum for locally relevant and globally significant dialogue throughout the Tampa community. The goal is to create a venue that incubates new ideas and accelerates the continued progress of the city we call home. 

As this event is limited to 100 people, we will be utilizing a lottery system to allow for the equitable distribution of tickets. Tickets are provided to those participants who volunteer as a sign of appreciation. Please submit your email below for event updates and lottery submission. We are looking forward to learning & growing together. 

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxSouthHowardAvenue, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxSouthHowardAvenue event, TED Talks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.

About TED

TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading, often in the form of short talks delivered by leading thinkers and doers. Many of these talks are given at TED Conferences, intimate TED Salons and thousands of independently organised TEDx events around the world. Videos of these talks are made available, free, on TED.com and other platforms. Audio versions of TED Talks are published to TED Talks Daily, available on all podcast platforms.

TED’s open and free initiatives for spreading ideas include TED.com, where new TED Talk videos are posted daily; TEDx, which licenses thousands of individuals and groups to host local, self-organized TED-style events around the world; the TED Fellows program, which selects innovators from around the globe to amplify the impact of their remarkable projects and activities; The Audacious Project, which surfaces and funds critical ideas that have the potential to impact millions of lives; TED Translators Program, which crowdsources the subtitling of TED Talks so that big ideas can spread across languages and borders; and the educational initiative TED-Ed. TED also offers TED@Work a program that reimagines TED Talks for workplace learning. TED also has a growing library of original podcasts, including The TED Interview with Chris Anderson, WorkLife with Adam Grant, Far Flung with Saleem Reshamwala and How to Be a Better Human.
