On February 11, 2012, 500 of Austin’s most curious and creative, interesting and interested, positive and progressive thinkers and doers will gather at Austin Music Hall to be inspired by visionaries sharing their unique stories and valuable perspectives at TEDxAustin: Beyond Measure.

Curious minds around the globe will join us online through our HD livestream.

It’s exciting that people experience TEDxAustin exactly as it is intended; as a way to establish positive dialogue, create unexpected connections, and inspire powerful momentum for Austin to play big in ways beyond measure.

As a purely volunteer led production, we are able to produce a TED-caliber event thanks to the support of and collaboration with sponsors who believe passionately in global “ideas worth spreading”, as well as Austin’s own “ideas worth sharing”.

We offer the following Partnership Levels and look forward to discussing ways in which your brand can surround itself with the power of “ideas” and add to the TEDxAustin XLab idea playscape.

We welcome in-kind sponsorships of printing, catering, speaker travel, accommodation & transportation, equipment loan, and professional services to produce TEDxAustin. Questions? Please ask them. We are delighted by relationships we’ve built and look forward to working together! Contact Shawna Butler, Sponsor Relations: [email protected]

Hosting TEDx in the Austin City Limits Studio at KLRU gave testament that big ideas are born in Austin, TX. We were inspired by the dynamic ideas delivered this year and are thrilled that these compelling ideas have merged with legendary performances captured on the ACL Stage.

It’s exciting to feel the responses and see the results from TEDxAustin events over the past 2 years! From all we’ve heard, those who were there enjoy the opportunity to create fresh connections and were each inspired to use the resources of Austin to play big, right now, in bold new ways. Here are some of the things our speakers, sponsors, and attendees had to say.

Kudos to all who put on an exceptional event today that was on par with the inspiration, creativity and production that we know as TED. I am looking forward to next year already. Thank you!!! CHARLIE MCBREARTY, Attendee

Thank you for the wonderful opportunity to be a sponsor of TEDxAustin. I attended the event on behalf of LIVESTRONG and was blown away by the experience. I’m still taking in all of the presentations, and I can’t tell you how energized I am with new ideas for our foundation.MONA PATELEVP, People & Organizational Development, LIVESTRONG

Wow. Wow, wow, wow. I am still swirling from the absolute magnificence of the TEDxAustin event. Seriously one of the most thrilling experiences of my life; not just my talk but the entire day. As a whole, the event was stellar and all of the speakers were great. I will be forever grateful to have been a part of the first TEDxAustin.CARRIE CONTEY, PH.D.Prenatal and Perinatal Psychologist
