When Dreams Defy Reality

As social and environmental problems keep pace with rapid world changes, the number of social entrepreneurs has been increasing as well. As the geographic reach of their ideas has been expanding ever more rapidly, the rate of discovering new solutions to social problems is multiplying. How can we clone these people who see lack of equity, access and opportunity as what is - and turn it into what can be? Can we realistically hope to create a world where dreams defy reality and where the word tomorrow infers a better day to come?
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)
