Theme: Intersection and Connection

This year, TEDxMinneapolis is here to create intersections and catalyze connections.

We’ve made a lot of progress in our world already. But when we seek to cross paths and learn from each other, we begin to foster a stronger, more inclusive world, together. In this increasingly diverse world, we should be practicing how to step outside our comfort zones, engage with different perspectives, and actively listen to those with whom we may disagree.

With this mindset, we give ourselves the opportunity to find common ground and build relationships based on mutual respect. By prioritizing connection and emphasizing the power of collective action, we can break down barriers and create spaces where everyone belongs. Through learning from different perspectives, collaborating on shared goals, acknowledging our accomplishments, or simply being present for each other, we give the act of building relationships the power to create real change.
