Organizers of TEDxMansfield announce the speakers for the local TEDx event themed Metamorphosis. Tickets are now available for purchase through The Renaissance Theatre box office. The independently produced event, operated under license from TED, will be held at The Renaissance Theatre in Mansfield, Ohio on November 3rd.

The TEDxMansfield team received over fifty applications from people all over the world including 4 countries, and nearly a dozen states. Speakers were vetted by a diverse team of local volunteers and selected based on stringent criteria in keeping with the parameters set forth by the TED organization. Each of the speaker’s talks will explore a different idea worth spreading and fitting the theme Metamorphosis.

According to TEDxMansfield licensee and organizer Tracy Graziani, “This was an arduous task, and one we didn’t take lightly. While it was difficult to select just six speakers, we are excited to showcase their ideas on a world stage from right here, in Mansfield, Ohio. Prepare to be blown away, we already are.”
