Be Part of the Future of TEDxWarrenton

Welcome to TEDxWarrenton. We invite you to collaborate with us in creating a community of idea sharing and inspiration. This is how we change the world— one idea at a time. This high-energy daylong event will feature shared ideas and entertaining presentations citizens Fauquier County and beyond.

We believe that sharing ideas can change attitudes, lives and ultimately our world. TEDxWarrenton is part of a growing phenomenon known as TED. TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to sharing ideas. It started in 1984 as a conference of people seeking to share their knowledge in the worlds of technology, entertainment and design. TED now conducts live conferences featuring some of the world’s most fascinating thinkers and doers. Videos from those conferences are available online and more than a billion people have viewed and grown intellectually as a result.

Those of us in Fauquier County and the Commonwealth of Virginia have great ideas as well. That’s why we created TEDxWarrenton. Our volunteer organizers seek to find and give a stage to people in our community and others with great ideas. We hope to give national and international ideas a chance to be seen and heard on our local stage. We invite you to be part of TEDxWarrenton.

Be Part of Something Meaningful – Be Our Partner

We’re reaching out to organizations and businesses that are committed to the power of ideas and asking them to partner to help make TEDxWarrenton activities possible. Our ideal partners are innovative organizations who want to create lasting positive impact within our community and beyond. While the commercial benefits of aligning with our brand are vast, our partners also recognize the value of elevating people and thoughts.

We aren’t interested in selling ad space, our goal is to create lasting partnerships to be part of and add depth to the TEDxWarrenton experience. Our presenters address some of humanity’s toughest challenges offering answers through innovation, enterprise and optimism. We seek to highlight local and regional ideas that inspire people to change their lives, their communities, and their world. Your partnership will help make this great event possible.
