TEDxStanleyPark is a not-for-profit intellectual variety show that is held annually in Vancouver. Live speakers share innovative and optimistic ideas that address humanity’s tough challenges with a community of open and curious minds searching for ways to make a difference. These ideas stimulate, inspire and energize actions that change attitudes and launch noble movements that cause positive change to happen.
Our 2016 theme is Ideas to Action. This theme guides our selection of talks to those that contain powerful calls to action that give legs to dreams of what could be.
We are determined to produce ideas of such high content and production value that all speakers receive a standing ovation and the world takes action.
