200 Seaport Boulevard, Boston, MA Map
At TEDxBoston 2011 we’ll bring together grassroots change agents and blue-sky inventors. Some will astound us with great acts of collaboration, several will synthesize the abundant information available to us, and many will focus on the health of our souls, our bodies, and our global communities. All will share their startling discoveries and teach us something new about technology, entertainment, or design. Join us for a day of revolutionary ideas and a celebration of Boston’s ingenuity.
The main event takes place in two locations at the Seaport this year: in the Amphitheater with the presenters, and in the new TEDxBoston Living Room powered by Turnstone, where attendees can gather in a social setting.
