Your 18 Seconds at TEDx

If you're feeling like a sub-par geek because you haven't been invited to speak at TEDx this year (Feb. 11 at Austin Music Hall), fear not. Stacy Weitzner and her team have devised a simple way you can weasel your way in. Simply take the theme of this year's event to heart: "Beyond Measure." According to TEDx, the theme is meant to help us consider “the implications of an ever-accelerating pace of innovation in technology, information and the way we live our lives.” What does this mean to you? Find a creative way to share it in an 18-second video, and your efforts could be rewarded at the event. Watch the video below for more information, and don't skip this part: “Think about what BEYOND MEASURE means to you, and then use your phone, camera or web-cam to record an 18-second TED talk and post your video to youtube. VERY IMPORTANT: make sure to tag or title your video with the keyword tedxaustin18, and we’ll make sure to feature it either on our website or at our live event!”
