Theme: Bold Provocative Ideas That Will Change The World

Having a TED Talk that represents one's life's work, or current passions, is one of the great ways to share who we really are . . . and contribute to the world. It has changed and enhanced my life so profoundly, I chose to produce an event that can pay it forward and give others this amazing opportunity.

We will have celebrities and people you will know. And those who are - in our opinion - rising stars who also need to be heard.

Some of the speakers (and awesome performers) will be chosen by my team and me but the majority will be chosen by the community in Venice and around the world.

To accomplish this we will be conducting Live and Virtual "Auditions".

In the meantime, please go to the TEDxPacific Avenue Facebook Page and post your Submission. For now, all we need is your Name, The (Tentative) Title of Your Talk and a Brief Description. https://www.facebook.com/events/678431815134456/?active_tab=discussion

Thank you.

We look forward to hearing from you about the bold, provocative ideas that YOU believe will change the world!

The oldest daughter of Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, and the oldest niece of President John F.
