Participation, collaboration, surprise and the power of YES: making grand ideas a reality - Jo Vidler

Jo Vidler is renowned for developing and delivering the highest standard of Creative direction & Programing to festivals ranging from Secret Garden Party (2007-2013) to Wilderness. In this engaging talk, Jo illustrates how focusing on participation, collaboration, and surprise can push ideas to their limits and create mind-blowing spectacles that will leave audiences feeling like life will never be the same. 

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
