TedxWilmette CONNECT Event Program

©2026 by TEDxWilmette

This independent TEDx event is operated under license from TED.  Get more information about TEDx program.

 

In the spirit of discovering and spreading ideas, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxWilmette, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxWilmette event, TED Talks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
