Your local TEDx community wants to hear from you! We’re excited about our new name (TEDxPortsmouth), venue (The Music Hall), and upcoming event (Sept. 7th, 2018) and we’ve been telling everyone we know to get ready for a fabulous experience. But as organizers, we’re only part of the equation. What makes TEDx events so powerful is the mix of ideas and community. Without you, our amazing presenters will speak into an empty hall!
So we want to hear about your favorite experiences from our first five years, when we were known as TEDxPiscataquaRiver.
In three hundred words or less, tell us what former event or speaker moved you the most and why?
We’ll put our three favorite responses up on our blog and the winning entry will receive two tickets to this year’s event. (Haven’t attended before? Watch our past speakers and performers online and write about your favorites.)
Need a kickstart to the writing? Try starting with one of the following:
