2017 Corporate Sponsorship Deck for TEDxPasadenaWomen

2. Saturday, September 30, 2017!
Huntington Library, San Marino, CA!

3. WHY TED?!
• TED brings together the world’s leading thinkers and doers to share
ideas that that matter in any discipline—technology, entertainment,
design, science, humanities, business, development. !
• At a TEDx event, speakers and TED Talks videos combine to spark
deep discussion and connections.!
• TEDx speakers tackle humanity’s toughest questions, attempting to
answer them with innovation, creativity and an infectious optimism. !
• TED and TEDx are global brands with an active engagement of
over 800 million* people.!
!

4. WHY “RISE”?!
Rise to the challenge! Rise up! Rise and shine! Any way you look at
it, rise is a little verb packing some serious positivity. And, with
today’s global digital culture delivering what can seem like an
endless stream of bad news, some serious positivity sounds
downright empowering. !
!
This year’s event is dedicated to great thinkers who’ve dared to
believe we can build a better world by calling on that power. Their
ideas have—in some way great or small—suggested it’s possible to
trade the heaviness of hopelessness, resentment and self-
preservation for the lightness of anticipation, curiosity and self-
sacrifice. Join in for a day dedicated to transcending the past and
transforming the future. RISE —get ready to celebrate Ideas That
Elevate! !
