9:00 AM - 3:00 PM
Do you have an idea worth sharing? Want to spend the day with other dreamers and doers? TED is best thought of as a global community. It's a community welcoming people from every discipline and culture who have just two things in common: they seek a deeper understanding of the world, and they hope to turn that understanding into a better future for us all. Flint native Kevin Simpson (KDSL-Know Do Serve Learn) will sponsor the first TED event in Flint. You can expect a day of learning from local speakers on a wide range of topics. To ideas worth sharing!
