TEDxSMU 2009

 

This year we hosted our first TEDxSMU annual conference and we think it went pretty well! Check out the pictures on Flickr here!

These two days were the culmination of a journey that in some ways began just a few short months before, and in other ways are just part of a bigger experience that is decades in the making. There are people out there who believe…who know…how critical it is for each of us to have constant exposure to new ideas. It’s not rocket science, but a closely held belief in the power of innovation. That to innovate, we need stimulating environments and exposure to new and big ideas. That without innovation, we stagnate. We posed this question to our audience…What will change everything? Now it is up to you to decide.
