EVENT: Sept 17th 2pm - 6pm

Organizer Liz Gillooly was traveling through South Africa when she attended her first TEDx event. It has since been her dream to host a TEDx Event with the incredible minds of the North Fork. TED is a nonpartisan nonprofit devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form of short, powerful talks. TED began in 1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment and Desig

n converged, and today covers almost all topics — from science to business to global issues — in more than 110 languages. Meanwhile, independently run TEDx events help share ideas in communities around the world. Our hope is to inspire, connect and share ideas by highlighting 9 incredible speakers living on the North Fork of Long Island. If you'd like to volunteer your time or sponsor the event please contact us at [email protected].
