A huge thank-you to everyone who helped bring TEDxUWLaCrosse to life on Oct. 1 in The Bluffs, Student Union. Special thanks to TEDxUWLaCrosse committee, as well as student speakers, student workers and student volunteers who helped with videography, registration and more.

There are so many moving parts to an event like this, and whenever something needed to be figured out, someone always jumped in to do it. Everyone contributed in different ways, and together a show was created that looked deceptively effortless from the audience’s perspective. There’s a lot of trust, a lot of competence and, thankfully, a healthy amount of humor involved in pulling it all off.
