Welcome to a think tank of brilliant minds coming together to engage in local matters that will impact our global community. We’re setting the stage, inviting local leaders and creating an unforgettable experience.
Through the power of sharing, technology and engagement, you will transform ideas into action to create real results in the communities you care about.
At TEDxBellevue, our mission is to bring together local community leaders to engage in ideas worth doing . Our 2012 theme is Sustainable Happiness--from "someday" to everyday.
Why Sustainable Happiness?
Sustainable Happiness means transforming a future ideal into a daily reality. We’re committed to recreating our communities as places that support balanced lives, workability, and play for generations to come.
Imagine a society which
| VALUES | MORE THAN |
| Common good | Personal agenda and interests |
| Balance in all areas of life | Narrow focus favoring work productivity |
| Sustainable well-being for all | Short term profits |
| Creative pragmatism | Idealism |
| Risk for what's possible | Settling for what's comfortable |
| Contribution | Material wealth |
TEDxBellevue will provides a space for speakers, attendees, volunteers and partners to connect, collaborate, and energize the movement toward creating a happier and more sustainable world for all of us.
If you'd like to spread sustainable happiness in the world, come play The Happiness Games, a 10 day challenge that promises to create more happiness for you, based on studies created from Bhutan's Gross National Happiness culture.
