TedXGreensboro logo

For this year’s theme, NEXT, TEDx Greensboro explores what comes after the present — in technology, science, medicine, business, society and our personal lives. Join us as we chase our imagination with curiosity, rebound from the unexpected, and venture into the unknown with courage.

Where will our paths lead? What do we do now? These are common questions on the other side of the present — where resilience developed from the past and enthusiasm for the future pulls us forward.
