Young, successful techie entrepreneur best describes Emerson Spartz, CEO of Spartz Media and the wildly popular MuggleNet, a website developed around all things Harry Potter. Spartz delivers an energetic, enthusiastic and very cool talk to a group of teens urging them to learn from his mistakes and think outside the box while exploring non-traditional opportunities for learning and entrepreneurship through technology.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
