TEDxDetroit returns for its 18th year on Wednesday, November 4, bringing Detroit’s leading thinkers, entrepreneurs, educators, scientists, designers and artists to the historic Marygrove Conservancy for an afternoon of ideas, storytelling and connection. The event begins at 1:00 p.m. with interactive TEDxLabs showcasing Detroit businesses, technology and creativity, followed by a series of talks in the Marygrove Theatre. The program concludes before 5:00 p.m.

Marygrove’s historic 53-acre campus provides a fitting backdrop for the event, reflecting its own transformation around education, opportunity and community. The campus, with roots dating to 1905, now serves as a cradle-to-career educational and community hub. With only 400 seats available in the Marygrove Theatre, attendees are encouraged to secure tickets early. Early-bird tickets are currently $30, increasing to $50 the week of the event, subject to availability.
