San Ramon, a new center of technological development and sustainable living initiatives, is a fast developing town in the Bay Area. San Ramon welcomes thinkers and leaders from all different backgrounds. The newly established TEDxSanRamon aims to contribute to San Ramon's uniqueness by giving a platform to its diverse population of artists, engineers, philosophers, and more. We hope to strike up a conversation with our community, both in and out of San Ramon, while contributing to TED's goal of sharing ideas worth spreading. Join us on May 27th for an afternoon featuring speakers at the forefront of their industries.
TEDxSanRamon is excited to announce that our event will be livestreamed on YouTube for those unable to attend in-person. The livestream can be watched on our YouTube channel, linked below. Check our channel when the event starts for the link to watch!
About TED
TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading, often in the form of short talks delivered by leading thinkers and doers. Many of these talks are given at TED Conferences, intimate TED Salons and thousands of independently organised TEDx events around the world. Videos of these talks are made available, free, on TED.com and other platforms. Audio versions of TED Talks are published to TED Talks Daily, available on all podcast platforms.
TED's open and free initiatives for spreading ideas include TED.com, where new TED Talk videos are posted daily; TEDx, which licenses thousands of individuals and groups to host local, self-organized TED-style events around the world; the TED Fellows program, which selects innovators from around the globe to amplify the impact of their remarkable projects and activities; The Audacious Project, which surfaces and funds critical ideas that have the potential to impact millions of lives; TED Translators Program, which crowdsources the subtitling of TED Talks so that big ideas can spread across languages and borders; and the educational initiative TED-Ed. TED also offers TED@Work a program that reimagines TED Talks for workplace learning. TED also has a growing library of original podcasts, including The TED Interview with Chris Anderson, WorkLife with Adam Grant, Far Flung with Saleem Reshamwala and How to Be a Better Human.

What is TEDx?
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 TEDxSanRamon, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxSanRamon 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.
Theme: Reaching For The Stars
The theme of the TEDx conference "Reaching for the Stars" is about exploring the captivating nature of stars, their individuality, and the power of their collective impact. The first session of the conference focuses on the uniqueness of each star, highlighting the diverse characteristics and qualities that make them stand out. The second session emphasizes the beauty of how stars come together to form constellations, showcasing the interconnectedness and synergy that can arise from the combination of individual stars. Finally, the third session explores the lasting impact that stars can leave even when they can't be seen, highlighting the enduring legacy and influence of stars on the world around us. Through these three sessions, the conference seeks to inspire and encourage audiences to reach for their own stars and pursue their dreams with passion and purpose.
