In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxSonomaCounty, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxSonomaCounty event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.  Learn more at www.ted.com.

About the theme "Going to the Edge"
So many of us spend much of our lives in the comfortable, safe places: Our schedules become predictable. Our work can get repetitive and dull. We interact with the same people, with backgrounds and outlooks similar to our own. What are we missing by not looking to challenge ourselves, by not going to the edges? To the edge of what's comfortable, to the edge of what we can do, to the edge of what we understand?
