Grand Rapids, MN
Grand Rapids and the Itasca County area have been a favorite Minnesota vacation destination for over 100 years. The area's renowned lakes and beautiful forests provide the perfect backdrop for a family vacation, business trip, meetings and conventions and TEDx1000Lakes! Located in NE Minnesota, just 3 hours - 180 miles north of the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area, Grand Rapids is close enough to be convenient, but just far enough away to provide a true Northwoods escape.
Thanks for a great event!
One hundred people came together to listen to ideas worth spreading, and through their curiosity and conversation created a community of learning.

TEDx1000Lakes was held September 19, 2011 at The Myles Reif Performing Arts Center in Grand Rapids, MN. The theme of TEDx1000Lakes is “Expanding Opportunities”. Our goal - to engage a diverse group of community members in an inspiring day of ideas worth spreading, co-learning and reflection about the transformative possibilities at the intersection of education, inclusion and economy.
