TEDx Adventures
In addition to the talks, we are putting ‘Ideas Into Action’ by inviting you to participate in Adventures that will unfold throughout the year. Adventures offer behind-the-scenes access to the people and places that make the Greater Boston area so dynamic.
By offering Adventures prior to and for many months after the conference, TEDxBeaconStreet will enable more people to get involved, fostering the spread of powerful thought and ignition of critical dialog.
Participants will be exposed to the leaders and innovators at the emerging future of Technology, Entertainment, and Design (drawing on the fields represented by the T-E-D at the heart of the TED conference).
