TEDxUMontana – Big ideas come together

Jace Laakso isn’t the type of person who believes fate will resolve the future, but after organizing TEDx UMontana http://umt.edu/tedx/ he’s given the notion some thought.

"I don’t believe in those things, but everything just fell into place, like it was supposed to happen," Laakso says.

TED, which stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design, started in 1984 as an annual conference focused on "Ideas Worth Spreading," conveyed via short lectures and artistic performances. The events are limited to 100 attendees but all of the content is made available via the TED website. TEDx events are locally organized spinoffs that follow the same format. Since 2009 more than 5,000 TEDx lectures have happened around the world.
