TEDxMU

TEDxMU: Shaping the Future: The Power of a Single Idea' summit will bring the inspirational and much acclaimed TEDx experience to the Missouri community for its second edition. This local, self-organized event will create a new platform for the universityʼs sharpest thinkers and visionaries to inspire with single powerful ideas.
What is the drive behind your ideas? What is the color of your dream? If it were up to you - and it is - what would you do differently? At what moment does an idea become a solution? The Power of a Single Idea revolves around the key habits and actions of successful change agents and social engineers looking to actively and selflessly shape the future of things; that one relevant idea - alas, many are not so relevant to the times - that can change our very world, or mend a dent in it or light a flame in the hearts of people.
It reminds us of how the single-minded focus of a powerful idea, an event, dream, an outcry, a good hardback, a fiery poet, can change the very world we live in today. Dr Martin Luther King Jr had one, Malala Yousafzai had one, Steve Jobs had a couple, but what happens when disregarding all else you focus on a particular issue - whether in a petri-dish or a rundown community - to effect relevant change. 
Our emphasis is on your underexposed ideas as innovators, advocates, and visionaries. Most of our speakers have been drawn from the best and the brightest of Mizzou's faculty, staff, graduates and undergraduates students. TEDxMU will also be featuring ground-breaking ideas and research from leading alumni, faculty, and CoMo members. We are excited to be partnering with local and student organizations that value creative solutions, innovation, and meaningful impact. Tickets are $40, including access to the full-day conference, a personalized name tag, lunch and giveaways.
