Exciting News!
TEDxEustis Has a New Licensee!
We are excited to announce that our 8-year licensee, Timothy Totten, has completed a succession plan approved by TEDx headquarters and has passed the leadership of the group over to new licensee Todd Mazenko!
Todd was a 2025 speaker whose talk about estate planning at any age has been selected at a TEDx Editors Pick and will debut on YouTube with extra fanfare in the coming weeks.
Todd is an accomplished attorney and dedicated member of the North Lake County Community. He is looking forward to leading the TEDxEustis team and extended family into the future.
This "passing of the baton" is the culmination of a yearlong process to identify a worthy successor, secure the official approval from the main TEDx headquarters in NYC, and to hand over the relevant systems to the new licensee.
Totten and his co-organizer, Byron Faudie, along with Operations Manager Robin Richter, will continue to be available to Todd and the team and will pitch in where needed as continuing members of the TEDxEustis family.

Our February 1, 2025 Venue!
Camp Boggy Creek, located at 30500 Brantley Branch Road, Eustis, Florida 32736.
FEBRUARY 1, 2025 THEME: unravel
The word UNRAVEL gets a bad rap. A person’s mind becomes UNRAVELed, you snag a prized sweater on a nail and it starts to UNRAVEL, your best laid plans UNRAVEL when things start to go wrong.
But the word is also used to describe fixing or repurposing. A terrible knot that is causing pain must be UNRAVELed, a worn rug can be UNRAVELed and the fibers repurposed. We can UNRAVEL a mystery that keeps us in the dark and UNRAVEL the intricate details of a long held belief that has only served to hold us back. When a weaver makes a mistake, they must UNRAVEL the problem and begin weaving again.
For the 2025 TEDxEustis conference, we have built a day to reclaim the word UNRAVEL. From UNRAVELing the tangled truths of our family tree, to an effort to UNRAVEL the dangerous lies told to keep medical patients happy, we will explore what happens when we UNRAVEL things that have been convoluted or confusing. From UNRAVELing the imbalance of the car buying experience to questions that UNRAVEL the different ways our brains process written language, our 2025 conference will challenge you to UNRAVEL the way things have been to find better ways forward.
Join us on February 1st, 2025 for an unlikely conference filled with amazing Ideas Worth Spreading interlaced with special activations and interactions that might help you UNRAVEL some new talents or build some amazing new relationships.
