What is TEDxPortsmouth?

TEDxPortsmouth is a volunteer-run TEDx event, taking place annually in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.

TEDxPortsmouth is a community-organized event where big ideas and challenges that affect our community are openly discussed.

Our mission is to spark conversation and ignite positive community action by bringing together community representatives and showcasing new ideas from local, regional and national voices across diverse disciplines and backgrounds.

Goals:

to provoke conversation among community leaders and members about the issues our community is facing, and enable those conversations to spread as far as possible;
to expose attendees to new perspectives and innovative ideas and inspire them to think differently about the many topics discussed;
to create a compelling call to action for each person attending and watching the event to make a real commitment to enact positive change in their community.

What is TEDx?

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 TEDxPortsmouth, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxPortsmouth 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.
