The rural regions are important for us and we want to show the world that there are lots of things happening here. We’ve written a manifesto to describe the core of what we are about;
“Where I come from, true enthusiasts, entrepreneurs, motivated and committed people have chosen a life in Sweden’s rural areas. We call this place home. We are part of an emerging future and we want to showcase that future to the world. We are the ones chasing the freedom to choose where we want to live and work. We embrace change and innovation with an open mind and we are the game changers who are here to stay.”
Our speakers are local, national and international. This is to get local and outside inspiration and to spread the word as far as possible.
TEDx is a well-established brand. A known and loved conference concept. It’s powerful in helping spreading the word and finding sponsors. Östersund feels like a perfect place to host a TEDx. We have a passion for the region, a drive to develop it and an urge to listen to others and always strive to be and do better. We have to stay on top of things if we want to be competitive, to be a place for all the amazing people who choose to live here.
Tell us about the event
This year we take TEDxÖstersund one step further. For this years follow up to last years success, we will open up the event to more audience and we will be able to raise the quality of the production. The speakers are from different corners of the world and they have one thing in common – game changing.
We are super proud and thrilled about the upcoming schedule.About 300 tickets will be released on August 26 and we will also collaborate with the local organisation Hej Främling! to be able to offer 50 spots to our newly arrived friends in the close by asylum accommodations. We will keep the fairly low ticket price (300 SEK per person) to be able to offer everyone to enjoy and experience TEDxÖstersund. You can also attend the dinner and after party to a price of 280 SEK. Which you definitely should. It’s gonna be amazing.
Who is it for?
We want the whole world to know we exist. We want the local people and companies to know what it’s all about and to help us grow and develop and hopefully make this a recurring event. We also want to show everyone the possibilities and the positives of living and working here.
How is it done?
We are about 30 active engaged people that have great competence and skills in different areas. There is no identified leader as such, we all manage our own responsibilities and our own tasks, but of course, there are always people to turn to and discuss things when needed. There is no micromanagement, which keeps the motivation and commitment high. Everyone is working on a voluntary basis. This is a non-profit event. There are companies and organizations that are sponsoring with all kind of things and support, it would be impossible without them.

WHAT IS TEDx?
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 event is called TEDxÖstersund, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxÖstersund 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.
