About TEDxZapopan
The goal of TEDxZapopan is to connect the agents of change in our community and discuss the ideas and solutions of the most pressing challenges our society faces.
The focus of our second event was "The Power of Purpose". More than 20 change agents and representatives of different NGO´s from Guadalajara have shared their insights, experiences and ideas with the local community and inspired the collaboration to confront the major social issues we are facing (i.e. from environment, education, social integration up to the infinite possibilities of people with handicaps).
In the first edition of TEDxZapopan in March 2012 we have focused on "The Power of Passion". The objective to inspire people to discover their passions and provide them with the best practices on how combine their passion with their professional lives.
A PassionBusiness Project Production
TEDxZapopan is a "PassionBusiness" Project that has been inspired by Richard St. John´s and Seth Godin´s famous TEDTalks. For more information visit www.passionbusiness.net
About TEDx
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)
