Partners

In common with all TEDx events, the May 2nd, 2014 conference on PUSHING BOUNDARIES is a non-profit event. Partnership is a vital means to allow us to cover the considerable costs of staging a far-reaching conference. Partners have a singular opportunity to interact with and impress our speakers and attendees, all of whom are chosen for their positions as executives, thinkers, and influencers. Your support is genuinely appreciated.
