TEDxTulsaCC is a multi-sensory, multi-disciplinary event with a goal to bring Tulsa’s best ideas to our community and the world. Attendees will experience enlightening talks, a shape-shifting art exhibition, the world premier of new choral work, surprise musical performances, and more. But the audience won’t simply observe – they will participate in fun exercises and a free exchange of ideas that will leave them feeling inspired and empowered to act on their own great ideas.

TEDxTulsaCC is an invitation-only event limited to 100 attendees by our TEDx license. Everyone can watch TEDxTulsaCC live via simulcast on the web, and the public is welcome to experience Subliminal: an Art Exhibition, at the Center for Creativity during the month of May.
