About Our Team
The TEDxGreenville Team
TEDxGreenville is an independently organized TEDx event, licensed from TED for the people of Greenville by NEXT. Here are the amazing volunteers who help make TEDxGreenville happen:
The Board
Role: Board, Program Team
TEDxGreenville helps us to connect, to recognize our change agents and to celebrate our most gifted artists – and this helps us all rise together.
About: Helping clients innovate through product development, marketing and business development. Informing decisions & driving growth.
Role: Board, Sponsorship
TEDx allows our community to find cultural intersections and turn the resulting “ideas worth spreading” into pathbreaking innovations.
About: NEXT is the regional portal for high impact, knowledge-based businesses in the Upstate of South Carolina.
Role: Board, Marketing & Media
I see TEDxGreenville as an open, community-powered idea generator; the power of “compound interest” applied to Ideas Worth Spreading.
About: We don’t just tell you what to do then wish you safe travels—we jump in the boat & help you get there.
Role: Board, Marketing & Media
Watching TED videos is like clicking the “wow” button on a remote control- but the batteries never run out. Greenville, SC has got a whole lot of “wow” to spread to the world too.
