I was introduced to the Fargo, ND community in 2016 when a friend recommended that I invite Greg Tehven to be on the Ever Better Podcast. You can listen to that podcast here.

That conversation with Greg continued as he introduced me to many other entrepreneurs and change-makers in Fargo. In July 2022, I spent almost a week in Fargo and thoroughly enjoyed seeing friends, some of whom I had never actually met in-person, meeting with clients in real life (IRL), and participating in fun, energizing, and inspiring experiences.

It takes just one person to spark change and to get others engaged and involved. If you’ve got an idea you’ve been thinking about, start talking to others and make it happen!

In addition to TEDx, Emerging Prairie creates other opportunities in Fargo, ND for developing skills and creating ventures. These include: 

  1. Founders Only Retreat. Founders come together to share ideas and challenges and plan for the future in a relaxed environment.
  2. Emerging Digital Academy. Participants learn full stack software development skills, allowing them to get jobs immediately and help fuel the local economy.
  3. Startup brew. A weekly get-together where founder and community organizers share what's happening with their ventures and activities.
  4. Grand Farm is modeling the farm of tomorrow.

Here are some of the ways Emerging Prairie created a memorable and impactful TEDx event.

  1.  Two days before TEDx, attendees were invited to participate in “curated dinners” where they had dinner with people they had never met before. This was beneficial to the participants as well as local restaurants. 
  2. When talks were not in progress, TEDx attendees enjoyed lawn games, live music, lunch, coffee, kite-flying, and other activities. The setup was a catalyst for meeting new people and hanging out with friends.
  3. After TEDx, participants enjoyed an after-party and an after-after-party!
  4. Encouraging participants to post on social media using #TEDxFargo<
