In the spirit of discovering and spreading ideas, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxSaint Leo U, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxSaint Leo U event, TED Talks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.

In an age of extraordinary technological advancement, transformation still begins with people. A single idea, decision, discovery, conversation, or act of courage can become a catalyst—creating ripples that extend far beyond their point of origin. The Human Catalyst: Sparking the Ripple Effect explores the people and ideas that initiate meaningful change and asks how human qualities such as curiosity, creativity, empathy, courage, connection, and purpose can amplify that change across communities and ultimately around the world.
