Theme: Bold Provocative Ideas That Will Change The World

Having a TED Talk that represents one's life's work, or current passions, is one of the great ways to share who we really are . . . and contribute to the world. It has changed and enhanced my life so profoundly, I chose to produce an event that can pay it forward and give others this amazing opportunity.

We will have celebrities and people you will know. And those who are - in our opinion - rising stars who also need to be heard.

Speaker selections are almost complete but if you are certain that YOUR "Bold and Provocative Idea" MUST be heard, please feel free to submit. If we can't fit it in this time, perhaps we can in a future event.

Go to the TEDxPacific Avenue Facebook Page and post your Submission. For now, all we need is your Name, The (Tentative) Title of Your Talk and a Brief Description. https://www.facebook.com/events/678431815134456/?active_tab=discussion

Thank you.

We look forward to hearing from you about the bold, provocative ideas that YOU believe will change the world!
