It all Starts February 7th, 2014at 1pm.

Our project began when a parent, a student, and a faculty member, each inspired by TED in different ways, shared their interest in hosting our own TEDx conference.

Our Mission: To engage our community in a discussion of ideas, to expand perspectives and to make a philanthropic impact.

We applied for a license with TED, which we received along with a toolkit and guidelines for organizing a TEDx. This event is independently organized without supervision or financial support from TED.

Our first event, based on the theme "Square One: The Power Of Reinvention" was held on September 28, 2012. We have established TEDxCoconutGrove as a recurring event.
