Comedic Ventures currently has the following projects
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our Marin based event is called TEDxMarin, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxMarin event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized. Comedic Ventures with the help of many others produces TEDXMarin. Sign up to be part of TEDxMarin here.
