\nThe day was marked with presentations from TED staff and TEDx organizers, and updates on community-initiated projects. X\u2019ers then broke out into brainstorm sessions, spread throughout the estate.<\/p>\n

As the program grows, its members are increasingly global \u2014 TEDx attendees of TEDActive alone came from 63 countries \u2014 but continues to stay connected through workshops at TED conferences, local gatherings and online groups.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are a living, breathing, ecosystem \u2026 In order to be successful as a global community, we need to be better at getting together,\u201d said Lara Stein, as she addressed the crowd from stage at the start of the day. \u201cYour ability to get together will have a great impact on your TEDx community.\u201d

Of course, as TEDx\u2019ers, meeting in a conference room simply won\u2019t do. As one attendee\u00a0@CharlieCurve<\/a>\u00a0tweeted: \u201cOut: Conference Rooms. In: Conferences Without Rooms.\u201d<\/p>\n
