What does it really take to build a TEDx event and why does it matter?
In this special behind-the-scenes episode, I’m joined by my co-license holder Suzette Neff as we pull back the curtain on TEDxHandleyBlvd Women and look ahead to our upcoming 2026 event.
We share what we learned while attending the TED Next Conference in Atlanta, including powerful insights about storytelling, leadership, and the responsibility that comes with holding a TEDx license. We talk honestly about growth, challenges, and the intentional choices that shape an event designed to encourage conversations and ideas worth spreading in the community.
This conversation is part reflection, part vision-casting, and fully rooted in community. If you’ve ever wondered how ideas take shape, how leadership evolves, or what’s next for TEDxHandleyBlvd Women this episode is for you.
