TEDx is coming to Raleigh with an event called “Bridging the Divide.”
TEDx celebrates the community’s accomplishments by giving people a platform to share their ideas. These events are known to inspire new ideas and are presented by educators, researchers, innovators, artists, performers, and entrepreneurs.
