Report

About twenty TEDx community members hopped aboard a trolley for an exclusive and special tour of Boston led by Boston tourism expert, Christian Vanderslice. The ride “went great” and proved part of a “perfect night.” It’s not often that you can tour Boston’s historic sites after dark, and rarely does a trolley tour end in a post-party complete with discussion and celebration!

About TEDxBoston

What happens when a group of people rally around a radical idea and set in motion unlimited possibilities for a brighter future? A Revolution.

More than 230 years ago, ordinary citizens in Boston dreamed of a democracy and launched a revolution that changed the course of human history. That innovative spirit still thrives in our local students, educators, scientists, artists, leaders, and entrepreneurs. At TEDx Boston, we celebrate their ideas and their passion for improving the way citizens of the world learn, live, give, work, and play.

What is TEDx?

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxBoston, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxBoston event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
