To partner with TEDxBocaRaton is to open up a connection with an exclusive intellectual, innovative and passionate audience, stemming from all segments of Boca Raton and the tri-county area in South Florida.
As a valuable member of our community, we would like to invite your business/organization to be a part of our BREAKING BARRIERS TEDxBocaRaton event on March 26, 2015. TED events are held world-wide, offering live streaming of the talks and address a wide range of topics within the research and practice of science and culture. TEDx was created to further the spirit of TED’s mission. The program is designed to give communities, organizations, and individuals the opportunity to stimulate dialogue through TED-like experiences at the local level. This event promises to generate as much interest and participation as the first two, and we thought you might wish to be fully aware and supportive of it.
We are looking for local businesses and organizations to help us make this event truly special for our community.
As a leader, local business or trusted organization in the community, your involvement would help highlight the importance of recognizing TED’s mission of “ideas worth sharing.” Community events like this can provide favorable visibility for your brand, the opportunity to sponsor exhibits in the Event Laboratory and a plethora of benefits for your employees/ organization. I will be following up with you within the next few days to discuss your interest.
