CSD's Sean Davis met the challenge of the constraints of time and speaking for a non-technical audience, and helped our community learn more about the history of the stratospheric ozone story. On 17 September 2017, a TEDx event held at Macky Auditorium on the University of Colorado at Boulder campus brought together Sean and eight other speakers to discuss topics with the theme of Climate & Change. Sean's talk was one of 14 chosen from over 400 submitted proposals and was delivered to a sold out audience of 2200 – an excellent opportunity to deliver an important message.
The TEDx Program was created in the spirit of TED's mission, "ideas worth spreading." It is designed to help communities, organizations and individuals start a conversation and connect through local TED-like conferences. The conference format is used to spread ideas, usually in the form of short, powerful talks (18 minutes or less) where Technology, Entertainment, and Design (TED) converge, covering an array of topics from science to business to global issues.
