TEDxToronto has announced the theme of its 2014 conference: relentless pursuit, "of not just ideas worth spreading," which is TED's motto, "but ideas worth doing," a press release said.
And, as of Monday, the organization is now seeking applications and nominations for its October 2nd conference at Koerner Hall at the Royal Conservatory of Music.
TED, which stands for technology, entertainment and design, and its offshoot TEDx events have captured the imaginations of viewers and attendees for years. TEDx events are independently organized, with Toronto's annual TEDx conference being the largest in Canada. The conference is currently seeking speakers, performers, and technology demonstrations to take part in the event.
More diverse than one would think, TEDx events combine talks with innovative musical experiences, novel technologies, and imaginative presentations. This year's theme will likely be no exception.
"We are driven by our pursuits," the press release states. "They are the ideas, goals and dreams in our lives that we commit to which are greater than ourselves, fuelled by a passion, dedication and the burning desire to achieve. Our relentless pursuits are what engage us and provide us with intense focus to improve the experience of tomorrow. They are the manifestation of our ideas in action and give us the uncompromising determination to venture into the unknown. Relentless pursuits feed our curiosity of the world, and present worthwhile challenges that bring meaning to our lives."
Applications are now open. They will close on June 30, 2014.
