TEDxFSCJ is now accepting speaker applications for the 2019 Main Event
“Reimagine the (Im)possible” will focus on what separates the possible from the impossible. The line is not as settled as we imagine. That project you’ve always dreamed of completing—possible . . . or impossible? That change you would see in your neighborhood, your city, your country, or that idea few people know about or even dare to look for—all raise questions about the limits of our imagination and the fluidity of what’s possible. Speakers will be expected to convey thoughts and ideas that educate, ignite passion, spark conversation and leave a lasting impact.
Those who are passionate about sharing knowledge and broadening understanding are invited to submit their application online at http://www.tedxfscj.com/ on or before the October 6, 2018 deadline. Applications are open to FSCJ students, staff, faculty and administration, as well as members of the Jacksonville community.
TEDxFSCJ 2019 is scheduled for Saturday, April 6, 2019. The event will take place at the Nathan H. Wilson Center for the Arts at FSCJ’s South Campus, 11901 Beach Blvd., Jacksonville, FL 32246.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event
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. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)
About TED
TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading, usually in the form of short, powerful talks (18 minutes or fewer) delivered by today's leading thinkers and doers. Many of these talks are given at TED's annual conference in Vancouver, British Columbia, and made available, free, on TED.com. TED speakers have included Bill Gates, Jane Goodall, Elizabeth Gilbert, Sir Richard Branson, Nandan Nilekani, Philippe Starck, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Sal Khan and Daniel Kahneman.
TED's open and free initiatives for spreading ideas include TED.com, where new TED Talk videos are posted daily; the TED Translators Program, which provides subtitles and interactive transcripts as well as translations from thousands of volunteers worldwide; the educational initiative TED-Ed; the annual million-dollar TED Prize, which funds exceptional individuals with a "wish," or idea, to create change in the world; TEDx, which provides licenses to thousands of individuals and groups who host local, self-organized TED-style events around the world; and the TED Fellows program, which selects innovators from around the globe to amplify the impact of their remarkable projects and activities.
