TEDxUChicago strives to re-create the unique experience found at TED, where the world´s leaders, thinkers and doers congregate to share what they are most passionate about. At its core, the fundamental goal of TED and The University of Chicago is to foster and spear great ideas. We aim to provide a platform where the smartest thinkers, greatest visionaries, and most fascinating teachers will be inspired and will have the opportunity to inspire others. After spending a day with speakers who are currently revolutionizing conventional ideas and concepts, we hope that our 2012 attendees will leave our conference driven to challenge norms and creatively improve our collective future.
