May 5 | 7:00 PM
Dream with us!
Mark your calendars for 7 p.m. on May 5, 2023 at the Center for the Arts Theater.
Join a community conversation hosted by local educator and town councilman Jim Rooks as we screen a curated selection of talks from this year’s international TED conference. The conference, TED2023: POSSIBILITY will be April 17-21, 2023 in Vancouver, Canada.
Much of today’s public discourse is divisive, but our world really doesn’t have to be that way. TED2023 explores a strange and beautiful space called the “adjacent possible.” Talks at the international conference in Vancouver feature speakers such as education innovator Sal Khan, founder of Khan Academy and Shou Chew, CEO of TikTok and polymorphic filmmaker Sarah Jones.
Free admission.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that brings people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TED Talks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection. 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. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)
About TED
TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to “ideas worth spreading,” often in the form of short talks delivered by leading thinkers and doers. Many of these talks are given at TED Conferences, intimate TED Salons and thousands of independently organised TEDx events around the world. Videos of these talks are made available, free, on TED.com and other platforms. Audio versions of TED Talks are published to TED Talks Daily, available on all podcast platforms.
TED’s open and free initiatives for spreading ideas include TED.com, where new TED Talk videos are posted daily; TEDx, which licenses thousands of individuals and groups to host local, self-organized TED-style events around the world; the TED Fellows program, which selects innovators from around the globe to amplify the impact of their remarkable projects and activities; The Audacious Project, which surfaces and funds critical ideas that have the potential to impact millions of lives; TED Translators Program, which crowdsources the subtitling of TED Talks so that big ideas can spread across languages and borders; and the educational initiative TED-Ed. TED also offers TED@Work a program that reimagines TED Talks for workplace learning. TED also has a growing library of original podcasts, including The TED Interview with Chris Anderson, WorkLife with Adam Grant, Far Flung with Saleem Reshamwala and How to Be a Better Human.
