TEDx Austin Conference: Ideas Worth Sharing

Play Big! the message challenged–Play Big they did. As the global brand took the local stage, CLINKs, Kelley Burrus (formerly Olive + Oz Branded Events) was invited to become a part of the producing team–one of the most inspirational and motivational challenges of her career.

As the day opened on the infamous KLRU Austin City Limits stage, the secret speaker panel was revealed via a keepsake conference program that has fast become a collectors item to TED enthusiasts — see making of the program video here.

The day unfolded in 18 minute segments of life lessons, reflections, best practices on health, wealth and philanthropy with performances scattered throughout.

One of the most powerful areas of the day was the accompanying studio space where the ideas being presented were talked about, challenged and implemented by participants–each with an individual spin aimed at an individual area of interest.

This first year event for Austin audiences was attended by 350 participants with over #450 on waiting list status.

The below video is just one visual example of the genius in the crowd.
