Are you curious, creative, passionate or interesting? I’m sure most of you said yes. If you are one of those people you need to be at TEDxDetroit next Wednesday, September 28th.
Yes, I’m on the board and an executive producer so I’m a bit biased. But… I wrote this post before I took on those duties after attending the first TEDxDetroit in 2009. This isn’t a conference, it’s an explosion of ideas. We share positive ideas for the world from Detroit.
TEDxDetroit takes place at Orchestra Hall in the Max M. Fisher Music Center from 8am to 6pm on September 28th.
