Tedx Spreads Ideas in Michigan
Posted: 5/24/2010

TEDx, the independent version of the globally popular TED conference, took over the Wharton Center in East Lansing. "TED" stands for Technology, Entertainment and Design. Their tagline is: "Ideas Worth Spreading," and the Lansing-area edition did not disappoint.
The conference features presenters with a fast-pace format. While the presenters are from diverse backgrounds, each shared a common goal of inspiring the more than 500 attendees. The stage featured speakers including local entrepreneurs, a social media author, a physicist, a chemist, and a pilot. Michigan State University alum and author Erik Qualman offered his take on social media with "The Future of Social Commerce." Eric's book, "Socialnomics", was an Amazon Best Seller. His presentation featured a video (see link below) on the amazing power of social media. Please check out the links below to learn more about the event. With events such as this, volunteers mean everything, so thanks to all those who shared their time to make TEDx a fantastic event for Lansing. A special thank you to Jennifer Veldman Middlin, who seems always to be behind great events in the area.
