In the spirit of  ”ideas worth spreading”, TED created a program called TEDx:  Local, independently-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience.

People all over the world are shaping and influencing our lives, sometimes in ways we never imagined. Many are focused on creating a better future for our planet. Who are these people? What can we learn from them?

That’s what we want to find out.

At TEDxLausanne 2012, our theme (the future doesn’t just happen) sparked discussion and connection. Our speakers, presenters, and performers, all visionary individuals from business, the arts, technology, science, and journalism—all dedicating their lives to making a difference—inspired us with their presentations.
