The Intersection of Normal and Unique

TEDx Talks Shine in Midwest Community

Open communication. Honesty. Life stories. Reflection. What if your story was streamed online around the world? Or shared on stage in front of a packed theatre? The thought can be daunting for some. For others, it’s the perfect setting for a TEDx talk. TEDx (Technology Entertainment Design) stems from the world renowned TED Talks. The "x" means the event is independent.

“TEDx is about the video. The live stream video, the recorded video…this is what helps the speakers’ message spread. I can’t think of a better partner to help us bring this unique interactive experience to life than the State Farm Creative Services team." -- Doan Winkel, TEDxNormal organizer.
