Purchase Tickets Here for TEDxEdina 2017

Attendance will be limited to ensure meaningful connection and conversation. Not able to attend? All talks will be posted on this website soon after the event. (But you really want to be there in person if you possibly can. The experience of being in a room with fellow community members committed to the power of ideas worth sharing is impossible to replicate at home.)
