“TEDx is a tremendous platform to plug into cutting edge ideas of our time. Every local community looking to develop and innovate needs such a forum and we are fortunate to have TEDxNavesink in our community. Communities will thrive and continuously reinvent themselves by thinking globally and acting locally. TEDxNavesink enables this and I am excited to be part of it.”
