TEDxYale 2013: Solve for y
Saturday, February 23, 2013
Held on February 23rd with 25 speakers, TEDxYale 2013 is themed "Solve for y." As a theme, “Solve for y” challenges our speakers to do two things: explain their unique “y,” the key ingredient to their ambition and inspiration, and tell us “why” it is significant. We’re looking for speakers with both extraordinary work and extraordinary purpose. The “y,” as opposed to other variables, also references the speakers’ common ground, Yale.

TEDxYale City 2.0
Saturday, October 13, 2012
Around the world, TEDx organizers are holding City 2.0 events on October 13th. TEDxYale City 2.0 is Yale's version of this event. It will explore how we can make our cities better places to live. Four speakers will meet at a crossroads of digital data, sustainability, and urban planning, together cultivating a vibrant image of future cities. By simultaneously celebrating and critiquing metropolises around the world, these narratives ask the question: how can we make smart cities smarter?

What is TEDx?This independent TEDx event is operated under license from TED.

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 TEDxYale, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxYale 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.
