Reinvention: "the action or process through which something is changed so much that it appears to be entirely new."
Reinvention happens all around us. New relationships. New careers. New communities.
Reinvention happens in many ways...By chance...by choice...or not.
What have you reinvented in your life? Your career? Your Community? Your Mind?
Come with us on a journey of reinvention as 20 outstanding speakers share their ideas worth spreading about how reinvention took hold of their lives, and the metamorphosis that followed.
Come break bread, share stories, build friendships, and invigorate your mind.
Come to TEDx!
