“This year’s TEDxDayton lineup is jam-packed with speakers from diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and professions,” echoed co-chair Lizz Mahar. “What they have in common is passion and a desire to connect with you and with all our Dayton neighbors to share ideas worth spreading. There will also be a few surprises this year that are sure to delight.”

In addition to the Signature Event each fall, the locally based TEDxDayton organization each year also produces TEDxYouth@Dayton, with talks by local high-schoolers and a series of TEDxDaytonSalon events, which happen in smaller venues and focus on particular topics three times a year.
