The rice ball comment was the most hurtful part.

"Suck it" was probably too harsh. But I stand by my rice balls comment.

I actually let out a loud chuckle to the rice balls comment. Touch?.

Come on, you gotta give points for the rice balls joke. That was chuckle worthy.

The auditioners included a microbiologist, artists, vocalists, a neonatal medicine MD, a statistician, a biomedical engineer, the poet laureate of Union City, a neuroscientist, technology professionals, community organizers....need I go on? Judge for yourself whether they are a good enough representation of JC - show up to the conference and write a review after.

Follow them on Facebook if you want to see the topics that were presented. I'm not going to list them here.
I'm pretty sure being willing to try rice balls at the Italian festival is one quality control criteria they have. So I guess you're out again.

Hopefully the other presenters are a little less vague than you about what they consider to be inspiring. Sorry not everyone is a staunch supporter of TED or TED-wannabe conferences. At least you're open minded about it. I see there are over 2000 TEDx events scheduled in the near future. I'm confident the quality control is quite strict.

Happy to.
I heard of the event at a downtown gallery opening. I saw a flyer and decided to audition at the downtown one. I listened to the other auditioners' proposed topics and was blown away by so many interesting perspectives and solid presenters. I've heard the same about the other 2 locations as well. My understanding is that while TedX JC may be associated by "name only," as you write, that actually means a lot... in other words, TedX is extremely particular about what is allowed to be called a TedX event, and the organizers are jumping through hoops to be able to bring this event to JC. Eventually all of the TedX JC presentations will be housed on the primary TedX web site and it could be a promotional opportunity for JC. Oh, and suck it.

From the website: "TEDx events are fully planned and coordinated independently, on a community-by-community basis." Like I said, associated in name only. It's entirely possible to be an open minded person without having to resort to such smug back patting. Perhaps user111111 (or you) would care to share knowledge about the event rather than just a Facebook gallery of poorly composed snapshots?

It's actually 100% affiliated with the "well-known" TedX...
And it's a group of diverse, open-minded people, including hipsters, who want to share ideas, knowledge, etc. So you probably wouldn't fit in.

With zero context, this gallery appears to be a bunch of hipsters hanging out in a shack.
If I recall correctly, TEDx has no association with the well known TED conferences except in name only, so caveat emptor.
