Theme: Congruencia

TEDxTulum in 2020 will be a pre-recorded event. Due to Covid-19, we will not be holding a live event and instead will be doing a live-stream webcast of the event instead. We have sought the critical thought-leaders, revolutionary technologies for change, inspirational stories, and moving performances that will be a part of the TEDxTulum YouTube channel.

This event is free of charge and is sponsored by the Care With Me Foundation.
