TEDxBlackRockCity 2014
"Smart & Simple"

With this year’s theme, we will present inspirational change agents and guarantee an afternoon of ideas worth sharing.

We believe that there is no more fertile venue in the world to explore Smart & Simple than Black Rock City — also known as Burning Man. The fundamental qualities of this city in the desert – the world’s largest intentional community – are freedom, experimentation, and participation, precisely the conditions in which new approaches to old (and emerging) problems can be conceived and realized.For most people who come each year to Burning Man, the shared dream is to take the values and aspirations of the Playa back to their homes, workplaces, and communities; to practice and promote the Ten Principles, not just on the playa once a year but all the time everywhere. Transforming the ‘real’ world is a formidable challenge and a powerful dream.

Join us at TEDxBlackRockCity as we share the dream and encourage responsibility for making change happen.
