The TED story
I'm organizing my 6th TEDx event this year, and attending my 4th global TEDx organizer training & meetup (TEDGlobal>Geneva, TEDFest>NYC 2017, TEDGlobal>NYC 2017, TEDFest>NYC 2018). I'm increasingly inspired and energized by our Portsmouth community's enthusiasm for our TEDx event, and I love learning from the global TED and TEDx community on how to spread great ideas.
