# Seeking perfection: TEDxPortland returns April 12 with Perfect

[TEDxPortland](http://www.tedxportland.com/ "TEDxPortland") is back, celebrating its fourth year of bringing interesting folks—a few of whom are interesting tech folks—to stage to share their ideas and inspiration. This year’s theme? [Perfect](http://www.tedxportland.com/?perfect "TEDxPortland Perfect").

> Does it exist? If so, what is it? Ask a thousand people and you’ll get a thousand different answers. Whether you’re talking about a person, place, thing or idea, this word provokes discussion. The desire for it pushes people to think of bigger and better things, challenging them to make their own definitions and maybe even make them a reality.

Tech types among [this year’s speakers](http://www.tedxportland.com/?speakers "TEDxPortland Speakers") include [Jackson Gariety](http://jacksongariety.com/ "Jackson Gariety") and [James Keller](http://semaphoria.com/ "James Keller"). And there are a whole variety of folks just as interesting as them speaking, too.

The event will be held April 12 at Keller Auditorium. Tickets are priced at $100.
