TEDxChicago 2022
There is a moment for every one of us when we must call upon our best: The moment the curtain opens, the spotlight shines, the clock runs down, the meeting begins, the bell tolls, the inning nears its end, or the phone call rings. In each of these moments, we must draw on courage, bravery, integrity, and the will to take a leap. Let's celebrate these moments, and do so with the vigor, love, pride, and boldness that we are as Chicagoans. Its showtime Chicago: It's Chi✶Time.
This year, TEDxChicago has arrived at its own curtain call moment: We have transformed the experience and the vision to be deeply focused on the richness of Chicago: Its people, its taste, its culture, and its pride. Chicago has a long list of incredible thought leaders, artists, and movement makers who give their hearts and minds to ideas greater than themselves, all the while catalyzing off of and within Chicago as a platform.
