TEDxBend tickets go on sale March 25 at TEDxBend.com. This year’s event will take place on Saturday, April 23 at Bend High School. And to stir your dreams, the TEDxBend 2016 Dream Forward event program will be announced upon Ticket Release.
For the past four years, TEDxBend has sold out at astonishing speed. Organizers love that you love to be inspired just as much as they do. But they know many of you have been left out, so this year they are holding a Ticket Lottery to make sure every dreamer has an equal chance to be inspired.
Here’s how the lottery will work: Tickets will go on sale at 7am on March 25 and will remain open until Monday, March 28 at 12pm. Tickets are $58 for general admission. This year’s attendees will be randomly selected using a third-party system. We’ll notify those that get in by Tuesday, March 29 and will have a waitlist for those we are not able to accommodate in the theatre.
Sponsor a Student and get a jump on the lottery! The day before the lottery, 225 Youth Sponsored Tickets will be released. Purchase one ticket for yourself AND one ticket for a youth attendee for $98 for both tickets. We will distribute the youth tickets to Central Oregon high school and COCC students. Youth Sponsored Tickets will be available until they sell out.
Dream Forward with TEDxBend.

About TED
TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading, usually in the form of short, powerful talks (18 minutes or fewer) delivered by today’s leading thinkers and doers. Many of these talks are given at TED’s annual conference in Vancouver, British Columbia, and made available, free, on TED.com. TED speakers have included Bill Gates, Jane Goodall, Elizabeth Gilbert, Sir Richard Branson, Nandan Nilekani, Philippe Starck, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Sal Khan and Daniel Kahneman.
TED’s open and free initiatives for spreading ideas include TED.com, where new TED Talk videos are posted daily; the Open Translation Project, which provides subtitles and interactive transcripts as well as translations from thousands of volunteers worldwide; the educational initiative TED-Ed; the annual million-dollar TED Prize, which funds exceptional individuals with a “wish,” or idea, to create change in the world; TEDx, which provides licenses to thousands of individuals and groups who host local, self-organized TED-style events around the world; and the TED Fellows program, which selects innovators from around the globe to amplify the impact of their remarkable projects and activities.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)
