TEDxCanmore

TEDxCanmore is a TED conference that is independently organized for the people of Canmore, Alberta (also known as 'The Bow Valley Bubble' or as the organizers like to call it as the 'Utopic Mountain Town') in Canada.

History

In 2013, when Canmore had its first TEDx event, it brought together a range of local speakers who shed light on a variety of topics and each discourse fell under the overarching theme of "Go Beyond."

Ever since then Canmore has hosted 2 more events - one in 2016 (Evolve) and the other in 2017 (Standard).

A vision of what the events would conduct has been discussed by Wade Graham (one of the earliest organizers) with Rob Murray on 106.5 Mountain FM.

In 2017, it took place on January 20 at Canmore Miners’ Union Hall, with the theme On the Edge of the Wild.
