2014 TEDxDayton Talks Now Available For Viewing

Experience the “Excite Explore Exchange” talks from the 2014 event posted to YouTube.

January 28, 2015 (Dayton, Ohio) — The second TEDxDayton event sold out in record time before the actual event took place on October 17 last year. More than 1,000 people, representing area college students, community and business leaders, and TED fans were treated to an incredible day of fresh ideas from 24 speakers and performers. This week the 2014 speaker videos (performances available in the coming week) were posted to YouTube for those who were unable to attend or who would like to remember their favorite TEDxDayton moments. Fans of the event can visit TEDxDayton 2014 Speakers to choose from approximately two and a half hours of magical moments from some of the region’s brightest minds sparking deep discussion and connections, inspired by the TED talks mantra of promoting “ideas worth spreading.”

“It’s been exciting to experience this community’s overwhelming support for TEDxDayton,” said event co-chair Sean Creighton. “Dayton is a community full of passionate, inspired and engaged people, of dreamers and doers in the world. The way this community has embraced TEDxDayton really illustrates this fact.

“We’d like to thank everyone who made the 2014 event possible,” said event co-chair Stephanie Gottschlich, “And the Dayton community’s ongoing and enthusiastic commitment to keeping TEDxDayton an annual event.”

Planning is currently underway for the 2015 TEDxDayton event. Visit www.tedxdayton.com in April for updates and more details on what’s in store for this fall.
