From mind-blowing speakers, to fabulous contacts, to artistic talent galore, to warm and fuzzies, to brain teasers, to buggy-creepy crawler phenomenons, to high-tech science insights, to human biology, to blacklight only readable business cards, and beyond -- TEDxTelAviv was an ultimate success story.  Panned as a 'pilot' for furture TEDx events in Israel - I have a feeling that this is only the beginning of a flooding of TED events that will occur in Israel in the years to come.

For those of you not aware, Leadel.NET originally was inspired by and established with a TED-like mentality to the point where we like to brand ourselves to TED community members as "The Jewish TED".  Obviously, we're far from achieving our goal of big conferences and know that TED does not retrict themselves to any culture; nevertheless, Leadel's vision is to become the leaders of Jewish Inspiration around the globe.  Plus, what better act and formula to have as a mentor model than, TED?

As partners of TEDxTelAviv, Leadel's post-production team, headed by Racheli Menshikova will be working hard to produce post-video materials of the day.  So be sure to check back for follow-up materials of the conference.

In the mean time here are a few still captures from the event. Cheers!
