We’re officially just one full day out from TEDxMileHigh (see the schedule) and we’re getting excited for another day of maverick thinkers, powerful ideas, and enormous community impact! We’ve been prepping talks with speakers on the stage, begun to load in our interactive exhibitors, and the AV crew at Fastlane Productions is ready to rock.

To get the conversation started, here’s the ultimate guide to connecting with our partners, the speakers, the exhibitors, and the team before, during, and after TEDxMileHigh.  It takes a lot of people to make this happen – and there’s so much great conversation + action to be had!

For starters, be sure to use the hashtag #TEDxMH13 and follow @TEDxMileHigh during the event to create a dialogue of conversation around the talks, exhibits, and the experience.  If you use Twitter, use that tag!
