As we engage in a world marked by massive technological innovation, creative disruption, and social and cultural upheaval, this year’s TEDxJacksonHole is themed “Metamorphosis.”

The fall event will be at 6 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 7, at the Center for the Arts Theater in downtown Jackson.

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, TED Talks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection. 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.
