TEDx1000Lakes is hosted by the Blandin Foundation. Our Theme: Expanding Opportunity   Expand: to increase in extent, size, volume, scope; to spread or stretch out; to express in fuller form or greater detail.   Opportunity: an appropriate or favorable time or occasion; a situation or condition favorable for attainment of a goal; a good position, chance, or prospect, as for advancement or success. Ideas empower. Ideas around economy, education and inclusion hold the potential to Expand Opportunity - within our minds and communities - in unimaginable ways..At TEDx1000Lakes, we'll explore a few of these ideas together.
