“TEDx comes to the Jersey Shore during a pivotal time in our history. Following a catastrophic hurricane, communities across the region have been faced with reinventing homes, economies and their way of life. The day is sure to inspire an exciting exchange of conversation and compassion that spur a range of human emotion. New Jersey residents know another storm is inevitable. What they may not know is that our homegrown speakers have the innovation and creativity we need as a state to weather the next big hit.”
