TEDxWinterPark - Being Human

This year’s TEDxWinterPark events' theme is Being Human. We will be examining all things that could define us as a species while looking at the most intriguing and interesting aspects about ourselves. We are excited for this special event on a day that evokes instant thoughts, feelings or memories. Friday the 13th. We are ending this decade and entering 2020 with all new possibilities. How will you define yourself next year? Will you be a Human Being or a Human Doing?

We are calling all change-agents to attend. Are you ready to be inspired?

Tickets are general admission and include access to the TEDxWinterPark after party and screening of documentary We Rise Up.
