Description
TEDxTLN is a leadership session that examines the district leaders roles in meeting the needs of today's digital generation. NSBA's Technology Leadership Network in coordination with TED are working together to transform the way leaders think about today's challenges through interactive sessions that blend ideas from some of the most accomplished speakers of our time with provocative real- time dialogue among peers. 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. This independent TEDx event is operated under license from TED.
