TEDx: Lara Stein at TEDxBoston
-
0:13 - 0:16It's great to be here today.
-
0:16 - 0:20This is actually the second TEDxBoston
I've been privileged to attend. -
0:20 - 0:23It's actually
the third annual TEDxBoston. -
0:23 - 0:26It was one of the very first
TEDx events – -
0:26 - 0:30two years ago -
which happen anywhere in the world. -
0:30 - 0:33It's sort of incredible that the TED team
and I are constantly in awe -
0:33 - 0:37of what has taken place
over the last two years -
0:37 - 0:41and of these incredible teams of volunteers
like this incredible TEDxBoston team -
0:41 - 0:45that is putting on events
like this one here today. -
0:45 - 0:48So, I wanted to show you
a few of the statistics. -
0:48 - 0:49These are
some of the numbers. -
0:49 - 0:52While it launched
just under two and half years ago, -
0:52 - 0:55we've had almost 2,000 events
around the world. -
0:55 - 0:57We have another 1,000 plus
TEDx events planned -
0:57 - 1:01in over 104 countries
and in 46 languages. -
1:01 - 1:07So, while the statistics are amazing,
we do analyze and share them. -
1:07 - 1:10What me and my team have become
more and more obsessed by -
1:10 - 1:14are these human stories, the memes,
the themes, the connections -
1:14 - 1:18and the projects that are emerging
from these amazing TEDx events -
1:18 - 1:21that are happening sometimes
5, 10 times a day -
1:21 - 1:23around the world and live streaming.
-
1:25 - 1:28It's sort of a truly spectacular thing
to think of, -
1:28 - 1:30that you are
part of this amazing global, -
1:30 - 1:33and I like to call it,
a tribe of interconnectivity. -
1:33 - 1:35Around ideas,
people are motivated -
1:35 - 1:37just by passion and ideas,
but nothing else. -
1:37 - 1:39So, I'd encourage you –
-
1:39 - 1:41actually we have a blog,
where we're trying to capture -
1:41 - 1:43some of these stories,
-
1:43 - 1:45to go to the TEDx blog
and read some of the stories happening -
1:45 - 1:48from a shanty town in Kibera
to a floating hotel -
1:48 - 1:50in the middle of Amazon forest.
-
1:50 - 1:53If you have any of your own stories
that've emerged from TEDxBoston, -
1:53 - 1:56please consider
contributing your story -
1:56 - 1:59to this global picture
of story tellings around ideas. -
1:59 - 2:02And so, I wanna just play
a quick video -
2:02 - 2:04that sort of gives you
a slightly deeper picture -
2:04 - 2:07of what has transpired
over the last few years. -

3:04 - 3:06[1403 Past Events]
-
3:06 - 3:08[812 Upcoming Events]
-
3:18 - 3:21TEDxAmazônia was set in a place
where life's a bountiful, -
3:21 - 3:24hoping that ideas would blossom
in the heart and mind of each attendee -
3:24 - 3:27and then be seeded
around the globe. -
3:27 - 3:29Over 700 people
from 70 countries -
3:29 - 3:33gathered in the Floating Auditorium
surrounded by alligators, -
3:33 - 3:36during the worst Amazon drought
in the past 100 years. -
3:36 - 3:38Every day I meet people
-
3:38 - 3:43whose lives, jobs, and companies
were transformed by these events. -
3:43 - 3:46I can't really believe
that it only took 18 months -
3:46 - 3:50for all those 55 TEDx events
to take place in such a small country -
3:50 - 3:51like South Korea.
-
3:51 - 3:53It was almost like a wildfire.
-
3:53 - 3:56It's been giving hope to people,
making them cry, and making them laugh -
3:56 - 3:59and making them
inspired and excited. -
3:59 - 4:04I can't really wait to see
what's going to be happening this year too. -
4:04 - 4:05I started TEDxChange
-
4:05 - 4:09because there are phenomenal people
doing great work across the globe, -
4:09 - 4:13and so often, we don't get
the change to hear from them. -
4:13 - 4:18TEDxChange gives us a platform
so that we hear all of those voices. -
4:18 - 4:20It's amazing to watch
this global conversation -
4:20 - 4:23happening at the local level
-
4:23 - 4:27where real solutions are actually
taking place. -
4:27 - 4:30TEDxYouthDay, 60 events,
[unclear] around the world -
4:30 - 4:32over a period of 24 hours.
-
4:32 - 4:35These events –
all have one common goal -
4:35 - 4:39to ignite new ideas in the minds
of the world's future leaders. -
4:39 - 4:44I really enjoyed the fact
that TEDxAmsterdam is not just an event. -
4:44 - 4:46It's really safe
to call it a movement. -
4:46 - 4:48There are almost 5,000 people
-
4:48 - 4:51who care what's on the program,
who want to be involved -
4:51 - 4:52and who would try and see
how they can help -
4:52 - 4:55the ideas of our speakers even further.
-
4:55 - 4:58(Music)
-
5:14 - 5:19Lara Stein: As you go through today,
you're all an incredible group of people -
5:19 - 5:23that is interconnected to these
other groups around the world -
5:23 - 5:25that believe the power of ideas
can change the world. -
5:25 - 5:27I just want to
take this opportunity again -
5:27 - 5:29to thank to TEDxBoston team
-
5:29 - 5:31for this amazing job
that they've done. -
5:31 - 5:32Thank you.

5:32 - 5:35(Applause)
