What is TEDxTO? TEDxTO is what happens when you pack the Theatre Passe Muraille from wall to wall with a hand-selected group of Toronto's most eager social media types, ply them with free quinoa salad and chocolate truffles, and then give them a packed day full of presentations from noted local artists, performers, and professionals to watch, then discuss. Essentially, it's one part performance appreciation, and one part networking bacchanal. We've seen plenty of rooms worked in our day, but none of them so thoroughly, or so well. Even noted Twittermeister Mayor Miller made an appearance, and spent one of the event's two designated "conversation breaks" encircled by his followers.
