TED

TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. Starting as a four-day conference in California in 1984, TED has grown to support those world-changing ideas with multiple initiatives. The annual TED Conferences invite the world’s leading thinkers and doers to speak about an idea worth sharing. Their talks are then made available for all at TED.com and YouTube.

TED speakers have included Bill Gates, Sir Richard Branson, Isabel Allende, Malcom Gladwell, Ngozi Okonjo- Iweala, Jane Goodall, Philippe Starck and Gordon Brown. TED’s media initiatives include TED.com, where new TEDTalks are posted daily, and the Open Translation Project, which provides subtitles and interactive transcripts as well as the ability for any TEDTalk to be translated by volunteers worldwide.

TED has established the annual TED Prize, where exceptional individuals with a wish to change the world are given the opportunity to put their wishes into action; TEDx, which offers individuals or groups a way to host local, self-organized events around the world; and the TED Fellows program, helping world-changing innovators from around the globe to become part of the TED community and, with its help, amplify the impact of their remarkable projects and activities.

TEDx

About TEDx, x = independently organized event

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.) Visit http://www.ted.com/tedx for more information.

In the spirit and tradition of TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design), the second annual TEDxSanJoaquin—a one-day localized celebration of innovation and ideas—will take place at University of the Pacific on October 10, 2012 in the renowned Faye Spanos Concert Hall.

This year’s TEDxSanJoaquin is themed “Just the Right Amount of Wrong,” highlighting innovative ideas, visionary leadership, and unique artists who continually challenge the status quo. TEDxSanJoaquin 2012 will feature speakers who offer a fresh perspective and address current issues within our community, country, and the world. We live in a complex world, and in order to realize genuine social change and innovation, we must challenge ourselves to think critically but also differently—“Just the Right Amount of Wrong.”

TEDxSanJoaquin celebrates those achievements with a view towards the significant challenges facing our nation as well as the world. By infusing the world renowned TED platform with the energy and spirit of brilliant Pacific students, alumni and staff, corporate and nonprofit community activists, and innovative leaders around the world, TEDxSanJoaquin will foster a continued generation of catalyzing ideas, bold innovation, sustainable solutions, and hope for the future

The City 2.0

The City 2.0: Stockton is an initiative that works in conjunction with TEDxSanJoaquin, an independently organized event licensed by TED. TEDxSanJoaquin is themed “Just the Right Amount of Wrong,” intended to challenge us to disrupt the status quo and create innovative and sustainable solutions that positively impact our community, region, and the world.

Through TEDxSanJoaquin we hope to create an integrative force that allows local citizens to connect and participate in the creation of our unique City 2.0. If we wish to be successful in transforming the city, the Stockton community, activists, and leaders must examine the status quo with a fresh perspective in search of innovative economic and social improvement initiatives.

Rather than fix the symptoms, The City 2.0: Stockton seeks to be a part of the solution by tackling the root of the problem through a proven successful tool: civic engagement. Together, we can enable the Stockton population, widely representative of many ethnicities, genders, religions, age groups, and economic backgrounds, to recognize and achieve their full potential to transform a strained city into one filled with progress and hope.
