In the spirit of "ideas worth spreading," TED has created TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. swissnex San Francisco is thrilled to be a co-organizer for this year’s TEDxConstitutionDrive, where x = independently organized TED event.
At TEDxConstitutionDrive, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. We try to make TEDxConstitutionDrive an intimate and low-key event where people who are deeply interested in the topic can engage with each other on a personal level. Please come with an open mind and a sincere desire to connect with the ideas and the other attendees.
This year we're exploring "Identity" in a way that goes beyond the standard gender/race/age lines. We see identity as the non-genetic DNA of us, one that is co-created by our environments and ourselves, and which drives in a powerful way our choices, our relationships and our lives. Our venue this year is the phenomenal classic car warehouse and winery (yes, both!) Auto-Vino. If you love one-of-a-kind fabulous cars and wine-tasting, in addition to great ideas and people, this is the TEDx for you. After we finish the speaker sessions, we will transition to the winery counter for an optional wine-tasting flight (included in your ticket).
