Some Sioux Falls speakers are now sharing their thought leadership with the world.

They spoke recently at the annual local TEDx event, but now their talks are gaining a bigger audience.

Seven of the nine speaker videos are posted on the main TEDxTalks YouTube channel, which has 27 million subscribers. In just a few days, some of the videos gained more than 10,000 views. The remaining two are expected to be posted, so keep an eye on the channel.

TEDxSiouxFalls has decided its next three years will be themed Ideate, Generate and Cultivate, respectively, said Thadeus Giedd, who runs the Sioux Falls event. They will be complemented with micro grants “on projects we want to help through ideation, get generation moving and have results in cultivate stage that benefit in some form our greater community,” Giedd said.
