TEDxPhilly

To all who attended TEDxPhilly 2011…

The TEDxPhilly team is sending a very big THANK YOU VERY MUCH your way for attending and participating in TEDxPhilly: The City. We’re also writing to share with you photos from the day, let you know when you can expect to see videos of your favorite talks, and ask you about your experience.

The enthusiasm, passion and energy shared at TEDxPhilly was truly awe-inspiring. We have been buzzing ever since. Have you?

The speakers’ talks were absolutely amazing, but so was the audience – YOU.

We can’t tell you how many thought provoking and reinvigorating conversations the team had with attendees throughout the day and following the event. You are an impressive group of individuals and we were so lucky to have you be a part of the conversation.

Did you know that TED wants to hear from you? We hope you will take a few minutes to answer the TEDx Audience Questionnaire and tell us all about your TEDxPhilly experience. Your feedback is invaluable, as we continue to evolve and improve the program. Learning about what you loved (or didn’t) and what you’d like to see more of (or less) is crucial. Fill out the TEDx Audience Questionnaire right here, right now!

Photos!

Hundreds of photos have been sorted through and the official TEDxPhilly photo gallery is up. See a visual recap of the day on Flickr. Thank you for being a part of such an amazing day!

We hardly remember posing for these, but let’s just say photo booth pics from the reception are on Facebook. You guys are silly.  Smile at the photo booth images. Big thanks to CJ Dawson Photography for helping us all let loose after such an exhilarating day of talks.

Videos!

Editing is happening! Each TEDxPhilly talk was professionally filmed and we’ll have videos of the talks rolling out as they are completed. You can soon re-watch your favorite talks and share with friends the ideas that resonated with you most. Stay tuned!

Stay Connected!

If you wrote a recap of TEDxPhilly or a reflection on the day, share it! If you were inspired by a particular talk, tell us! If you’ve found that you’re drawing from your experiences of the day in your life and work, we want to hear all about it! Email us at info@tedxphilly.com.

The TEDxPhilly team worked for months and months to plan the one-day conference on the theme, The City. Since the event, the team needed some serious decompressing from the full day of high energy exchange, and we’re finally entering the reflection stage ourselves. For us, a renewed sense of community grew out of the day’s interactions. In addition to the survey, please do stay in touch and keep the conversation going.

Don’t forget! You + TEDx Audience Questionnaire = Better future TEDxPhilly events! Tell us about your experience.

With much appreciation and admiration,
The TEDxPhilly Team

What does the city mean to you? Cities have languages unto themselves – built from points of intersection where disparate nodes converge and emerge from collective stories of times past, present and future. Subterranean. At and above ground. Stop. Go. Pause. The City is living and breathing.

Join us TEDxPhilly 2011 –  a unique, one-day multi-disciplinary conference, which examines the vast interpretations of the theme: The City. Engaging speakers, impassioned performers, all star participants and awe-inspiring exhibitors will converge to deconstruct, decipher and explore some of the greatest challenges, innovations, concepts and realities that shape and are shaped by the city and its inhabitants.

Philadelphians will assemble to share ideas that matter, and hopefully, turn those ideas into actionable outcomes after the event. The audience is as important as the presenters and will reflect the many passionate, motivated, and hard-working individuals (you!) who are part of the broader community of Philadelphia.

Tell us about what cities mean to you. Register to attend TEDxPhilly 2011.
