Announcing Exhibitors for TEDxMileHigh: Humankind

We are excited to announce the line-up for our Exhibits & Experience Lounge at TEDxMileHigh: Humankind on June 22!

 

Our favorite occasions in life are the ones during which we feel our own humanity. These are the moments when we are present to the full potential of the human spirit. These are the occasions we feel most connected to humankind.

We invite you to join us on June 22 as we celebrate our shared experience through our Exhibits & Experiences Lounge. This will be home to many individuals and organizations that are making a positive impact on the Denver community. The Exhibits & Experiences Lounge is a place where you can interact with ideas and experience real life-change through community and collaboration.
