In his talk at TEDxQueenstown 2014: Sense of Place "Piano Man" Mathias Lefebvre, the ultimate lifestyle designer, talks about how he got to the place where he lives his life on his own terms.

Every day Mathias tells his story with music on the grand piano he pulls around the streets of Queenstown but today he shares it in words and asks us to think hard about what we really need in our lives and how we can cooperate for a better future for all.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
