Quite simply, humanity needs to think more creatively than ever before. By providing the brain with the critical neurological nutrition of musicianship, music educator Neil Moore believes we can discover and reconnect to our innate creative capability. www.eventbrite.com/e/tedxjackso...

Humans are hard-wired for connection and community, yet we live in a time of disconnect. Can we rediscover community by embracing strangers? Growing up, many of us heard the phrases “Stranger Danger” and “Don’t talk to strangers.” www.eventbrite.com/e/tedxjackso...

Tune into "First Coast Connect" on WJCT this morning as Dr. Diana Greene, a 2023 speaker at TEDxJacksonville, and Executive Producer and co-organizer Jeanmarie Grimsley will talk about the upcoming conference. www.tedxjacksonville.com/2023-confere...

As Iva Ballou knows from personal experience, in the United States whether a child with a cleft or craniofacial anomalies receives the medical attention and surgeries they desperately need depends entirely on which state they happen to live in. www.eventbrite.com/e/tedxjackso...

Anne Coglianese is the Chief Resilience Officer for the City of Jacksonville. Anne leads the development of resilience initiatives to ensure Jacksonville can adapt and thrive in the face of acute shocks and chronic stresses brought on by climate change. www.eventbrite.com/e/tedxjackso...

Our student populations (and country) are becoming less White. But despite Black women earning the majority of college degrees (at a 67% higher rate than any racial or gender class), they are not commonly found in leadership roles in school districts. www.eventbrite.com/e/tedxjackso...

We’re entering an era of ubiquitous AI, but do we truly understand the threats it presents to our freedoms? An anthropologist whose field work has included exhuming mass graves of citizens “disappeared” by their governments, Dr. Alexa Hagerty knows too well how archives of data can be weaponized.

Robots used to be the stuff of science fiction. Soon, they’ll be your coworkers. As a champion of the adoption of cobotics, Matthew Chang has personally led the engineering teams that have developed the largest cobotic systems in the world. www.eventbrite.com/e/tedxjackso... 1/2

Georgia-born singer-songwriter Jesabel has a unique sound that blurs genre lines. She blends folk and pop with a dash of country roots and the sprinkle of soulful patina only a life well-lived provides. Her mantra is to stay present and just keep bringing to life the songs playing in her head. 1/2

Around the globe, we share our customs and unique cultures through our cuisine. When thoughtfully prepared, food has the power to transcend borders & unite people in a shared experience that breaks down some of the barriers that isolate us from one other. www.tedxjacksonville.com/2023-confere...
