Idea Week

Idea Week is a grassroots effort by the producers of TEDxSMU and some of Dallas' leading social enterprises and individuals to showcase some of the most new and exciting conversations occurring in Dallas. Designed to extend the TED experience and philosophy of spreading ideas worth sharing, Idea Week features more than 25 events, most of which are free and open to the public or streamed live online, as a lead-in to the second annual TEDxSMU. Idea Week's inaugural year is 2010. An event of this magnitude being conceived and launched within three months on a $1,000 budget lives its own mission to reflect a new order of thinking and doing.
