Sponsorship Packet

Beyond Measure
FEBRUARY 11 2012
On February 11, 2012, 500 of Austin’s most curious and creative, interesting and interested, positive and
progressive thinkers and doers will gather at Austin Music Hall to be inspired by visionaries sharing their unique
stories and valuable perspectives at TEDxAustin: Beyond Measure.
Curious minds around the globe will join us online through our HD livestream.
It’s exciting that people experience TEDxAustin exactly as it is intended; as a way to establish positive dialogue,
create unexpected connections, and inspire powerful momentum for Austin to play big in ways beyond measure.
As a purely volunteer led production, we are able to produce a TED-caliber event thanks to the support of and
collaboration with sponsors who believe passionately in global “ideas worth spreading”, as well as Austin’s own
“ideas worth sharing”.
We offer the following Partnership Levels and look forward to discussing ways in which your brand can surround
itself with the power of “ideas” and add to the TEDxAustin XLab idea playscape.

Beyond Measure
FEBRUARY 11 2012
It’s exciting to feel the responses and see the results from TEDxAustin events over the past 2 years! From all we’ve
heard, those who were there enjoy the opportunity to create fresh connections and were each inspired to use the
resources of Austin to play big, right now, in bold new ways. Here are some of the things our speakers, sponsors,
and attendees had to say.
Hosting TEDx in the Austin City Limits Studio at KLRU gave testament that
big ideas are born in Austin, TX. We were inspired by the dynamic ideas
delivered this year and are thrilled that these compelling ideas have merged
with legendary performances captured on the ACL Stage.
KLRU-TV, Austin’s PBS station
Kudos to all who put on an exceptional event today that
was on par with the inspiration, creativity and production
that we know as TED. I am looking forward to next year
already. Thank you!!!
CHARLIE MCBREARTY, Attendee
It was great to be able to participate in TEDxAustin 2011
as a sponsor. I was surprised at how amazing each
and every speaker was and left the event truly inspired.
Looking forward to TEDxAustin 2012!

Awesome day today! Austin has so much potential to
change the world...thank you for bringing so much of it
together today!
TIM HAYDEN, Attendee
Sponsoring TEDxAustin builds value for our members,
connects us with what’s important and builds buzz for our
members and for the community. The TEDxAustin event
energized conversations and thinking both on the day
and beyond. We’re ready for 2012!

Wow. Wow, wow, wow. I am still swirling from the absolute
magnificence of the TEDxAustin event. Seriously one of the
most thrilling experiences of my life; not just my talk but the
entire day. As a whole, the event was stellar and all of the
speakers were great. I will be forever grateful to have been
a part of the first TEDxAustin.
CARRIE CONTEY, PH.D.

Thank you for the wonderful opportunity to be a sponsor of
TEDxAustin. I attended the event on behalf of LIVESTRONG
and was blown away by the experience. I’m still taking in all
of the presentations, and I can’t tell you how energized I am
with new ideas for our foundation.
