About TEDxBradenton
In the spirit of Ideas worth sharing, TEDxBradenton seeks to highlight local ideas.
Bradenton is a rapidly growing, dynamic community. We want to highlight our rich and diverse talent here as well as create connections that have the power to transform ideas worth spreading into inspired action.
Founded in 2022 by Evelyn Almodovar and Catherine Ferrer, this all-volunteer effort is bringing the third iteration of TEDxBradenton to life with “Tomorrow, Together” focusing on themes of civic participation, small “d” democracy, and inclusive decision-making on the local level. This year the team is thrilled to have Emma Bittar as part of the organizing team, bringing her Gen Z perspective as a past winner of the Manatee Community Foundation’s “Youth Spirit” Award who graduated from Tufts University and returned to this community to contribute in meaningful ways.
Ideas change everything. The TEDxBradenton team is proud to continue this work of finding, sharing, and activating ideas.
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, TED Talks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)
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.
