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 TEDxTrondheim, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxTrondheim events, 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. Next event: TEDGlobal 2013 »

Love is in the air and everyone is catching spring fever. While the flowers and the bees are having a private moment, we might ask ourselves – what is the key to succeed in the game of love? In an evolving society, what determines rules of conduct when it comes to sexuality, mating or dating? In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDxTrondheim thinks it’s about time that we had “the talk”.
We’ve got some great speakers, videos, and fun activities in store for you! It’s free and open to everyone.

We all associate certain ideas when we hear the word “green”. For environmental issues, it’s a word that gets used so much that we’ve probably become numb to it. We’ve heard it all before, right?
Well for our next event, we want to inspire you to rethink what green means. We’ll explore unconventional ideas on how to tackle environmental challenges, and perhaps disrupt a few of our assumptions about what we consider to be green. We’ll hear from 3 live speakers and show a hand-picked selection of amazing TED videos.

What does it mean to be an outlier, to stand out, and to deviate from the norm? In many ways, Norway is an outlier relative to the rest of the world, so we’ll look at different aspects that make this country unique. In contrast, individuals within Norwegian society are generally not encouraged to stand out, so we’ll also look at how individuals can break the mold. We’ll hear ideas from a diverse array of speakers including an unconventional educator, polar explorer, cross-cultural expert, humourous farmer, childlike dreamer, arctic photographer and much more.
This is not your average conference. You’ll be exposed to many different ideas, stories, and perspectives that will expand your sense of curiousity. Join us for the very first TEDx conference in Trondheim on Nov. 1st, where an amazing group of speakers and attendees will connect through a shared passion for big ideas.
10:00-17:00, November 1st

As the world becomes ever more interconnected, the ways we relate, the means by which we learn about one another and develop mutual understanding, and the rules about what we hide and what we share are changing. That’s the inspiration for the theme of TEDGlobal 2012: Radical Openness. Join us for a livestream of the TEDGlobal conference this year. You’ll get a chance to enjoy some of the best TED talks from this event before they are released online to the public.
