You may recognize the phrase “TED Talks,” or know of the show “TED Radio Hour” that plays Saturdays at 3:00 pm on 90.7 WMFE…but did you know TED extends into local communities, including Orlando?

TEDx events are independently-run in the spirit of TED, the non-profit devoted to spreading ideas.

The annual TEDxOrlando takes place tomorrow, with a series of short talks from an impressive local roster focused around this year’s topic, “Home.”

TEDxOrlando organizer Alex Rudloff tells 90.7's Nicole Darden Creston how the topic is chosen.

As a field reporter, news anchor and radio show host in the City Beautiful, she has covered everything from local arts to national elections, from extraordinary hurricanes to historic space flights, from the people and procedures of Florida’s justice system to the changing face of the state’s economy.
