  1. Eddie Izzard
  2. Neil deGrasse Tyson
  3. Richard Dawkins
  4. Pilobolus
  5. Conference on World Affairs (#8 in 2011)
  6. TEDxBoulder (#10 in 2011)

Special mention goes to Boulder Philharmonic (Celebrating Takács) and Demetri Martin which almost made it to the list for just a few points.

What do you think? Is there another event in 2012 that should be instead in the list?
