TEDxCharleston 2024 – Uncharted

TEDxCharleston 2024 – Uncharted – Held April 17, 2024 at the Charleston Music Hall.

As uncertainty permeates seemingly every aspect of our lives, we continue to find ourselves in new and unexplored realities. Distilling truth becomes more challenging in our increasingly uber connected world, while the prospect of artificial intelligence entices and threatens us at the same time. But beacons of hope, honesty and humanity give us hope for the future, a confidence that we will be able to navigate what seem like uncharted waters.

TEDxCharleston 2023 – Re-Emerge – Held March 29, 2023 at the Charleston Music Hall.

Following an unprecedented time over the last three years, we are all slowly but surely re-emerging to a brave new world, fraught with new challenges and risks, but full of opportunities. Creativity, innovation and thoughtfulness are all needed to deal with this new reality. An exciting lineup of speakers and performers will explore many important and inspiring ideas at the 2023 TEDxCharleston event, appropriately themed “Re-Emerge.”
