Our mission: To foster positive public relations for the St. Louis region, resulting in impactful and meaningful engagement by showcasing St. Louis' profound impact on our local community, the nation, and the world. Created in the spirit of TED’s mission, “ideas worth spreading,” the TEDx program is designed to give communities, organizations and individuals the opportunity to stimulate dialogue through TED-like experiences at the local level. We use the TED format to build a connected community of learners and change-agents in St. Louis. Our mission is to create an inclusive & equitable community of thought leaders in the St. Louis region. We believe passionately in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and, ultimately, the world. Our community will build a clearinghouse of free knowledge from the region’s most inspired thinkers — and a consortium of curious souls to engage with ideas and each other, both online and at TEDx events all year long.
