This event is organized by a group of volunteers who are working behind the scenes to bring TED’s “Ideas Worth Spreading” to the Phoenix and Scottsdale community. The team, the volunteers and sponsors have all given of their time and resources, with no expectation of any financial return, with the simple goal of bringing together a diverse group of amazing, involved people to share ideas. In the TED tradition, these are ideas designed to transcend our personal lives and become bigger through the process.
