Leadership educator Drew Dudley takes exception to "The List": a lesson in the education system that is learned though never taught, and that he feels keeps people of all ages from truly embracing their passions.
TEDxUWO is the official TEDx conference for The University of Western Ontario in London, Canada.
The theme of this inaugural conference was Own Your Passion. A total of 200 spots were reserved for audience members, while thousands more across the country joined via satellite locations and live video stream.
About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. 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.
