TEDxRanchoMirage is an independently organized TED event bringing together the Coachella Valley's brightest minds and passionate voices to share powerful talks on topics ranging from science and the arts to business, culture and beyond.
With thought-provoking ideas, entertaining presentations and local pride, TEDxRanchoMirage is more than brainy talks—it's a celebration of ingenuity, curiosity, and a platform for ideas and positive change.
The presentations are designed to be just the beginning of a longer conversation with all community members looking to make the entire world a better place.
