The TED story
Started off in the Green Jobs movement in 2006. The Hawaii Island Sustainability Forum was our first event in 2009. The format was 10 Presentations on 10 Key Topics related to our Island's sustainability efforts. We open-sourced the event and have since helped others organize events. When we learned of licensing opportunities with TED it was a natural for us to start leveraging the TED brand to increase awareness and organize our efforts at TEDx events.
