It's been amazing to work with our incredible speakers as they craft their talks.

There have been laughs, there have been tears (and that's normally from our speaker coaches)

Only one more week to go until they take the stage.

No screen can capture the energy of a live TEDx event - the shared gasps, the collective nods, the spontaneous discussions during breaks.
