We passionately believe in the power of big ideas – to help us explore what’s possible, challenge the boundaries we’ve set for ourselves, and imagine a brighter future. The speakers and performers who take the stage at ASCEND will share their big idea of how we reimagine the future of tech, activism, climate, community, and beyond.
TEDxMileHigh events extend beyond the stage. Our experiential exhibits lounge and conference events are an invitation to take action, connect with speakers, and dive into experiences that transform our ways of thinking and being in the world. Engage hands-on with Denverâs big ideas, emerging technologies, and inspiring artists.
TEDxMileHigh exists to spread big ideas and solutions related to the biggest issues facing the world. We are a community of thinkers, creators, and activists with a core belief that ideas can change the world, and the TEDxMileHigh stage is a catalyst for that change. Â Join us in dialogue at our high-engagement networking events where we explore Denver culture, technology, and art.
TEDxMileHigh celebrates innovation in Denver and beyond by uplifting amazing Colorado presenters and performers. The TEDxMileHigh experience surpasses your average âbusiness professional eventâ by re-imagining connection, community building, and changemaking.
