What makes the TED talk platform so alluring is that it’s dedicated to ideas. We believe the speaker is the vehicle of an idea. And the TEDx gatherings are spaces where great possibilities take place through the exchange of ideas.
​

When thinking about what word captures the changes in Bemidji we’ve seen in the last decade, "momentum" comes to mind. There's been so much work done in the community in creating the shifts we see today that are now impacting progress, growth, and engagement at an exponential pace.

Are we going to let momentum happen to us? Or will we shape momentum to create the community we want to be
part of?


Join us 10.18.10 as we explore various topics from a variety of regional voices. We have limited seating, so get your ticket today!

If you want to attend the event for free, we still have a few volunteer opportunities available. Fill out the volunteer application to find out how you can help.

EVENT #1: THRIVE

Our first event took place April 14, 2017 at The Historic Chief Theater. We had six speakers and one performer. View their talks on the TEDx YouTube channel!
Thrive can mean many things. One of the main ideas of thrive is creating the right conditions for a person or community to reach their full potential. Through TEDxBemidji, we hope to spark discussions about keeping our community thriving and providing the right environment for everyone to thrive. These aren’t necessarily easy conversations, but it’s amazing what can happen when you bring together many perspectives in an open, welcoming environment.
