We invite you to join us on Saturday, October 27th for TEDxOmaha 2018 at Creighton University’s Harper Center.
This year, we have chosen the theme of ‘Time to Engage’. Through the voices, ideas and experiences of ten inspiring speakers and performers from our community, we will explore together what engagement, disengagement and re-engagement means in the world in which we live, work and play.
During our lives we engage with people, groups, ideas, causes, and then we disengage, sometimes through reasons beyond our control. Are we just flotsam to drift without meaning, or are we driven by a sense of purpose? Are we active or passive in our actions and relationships? How and why do individuals and groups become engaged or disengaged and what causes re-engagement whether at work, in our communities, at a local, national or global level.
Sometimes the decisions are made for us, sometimes it is a deliberate action. What are the sparks that drive us and what are the cycles that move us to action? Does passion or curiosity drive the researchers, writers, artists, engineers, and scientists within and among us, and what engages our imagination and curiosity to discover new ideas and break boundaries.
We invite you to join us and a group of extraordinary people who have experienced what “Time to Engage” means and how it has impacted their lives and the lives of others.
TEDxOmaha is an independently organized TEDx event. As a part of the global TED community, we connect locally to explore the ideas and situations that affect our cultures, environments, and minds.
