The world is changing faster than ever, and here’s a chance to learn what’s coming next. Join over 1,500 TED fans as they dive beneath the surface, exploring how artificial intelligence, social innovation, the evolution of language, human psychology and more are changing us in ways we least expect.
At this year’s flagship event – one of the largest TEDx conferences in the country – hundreds of fellow TED Talk fans will gather to experience the ingenuity, passion, and humor of world-class experts responding to the unseen forces altering our reality, influencing how we think and act, or rendering the tools of the past irrelevant.
Where does humanity fit in this new era? Is the future destined to be better? Why are we the way we are? And are we in control? Join in the event that seeks to answer these and other of the most critical questions in our rapidly changing world on Sunday, August 25 at Schermerhorn Symphony Center, in downtown Nashville at 1 Symphony Place Nashville, TN 37201 from 1:00 – 6:00 pm
