About the Theme
TEDx Brookdale Community College 2023: Where is There? TEDx presented topics that centered upon the Brookdale tag line: “Here will get you there.” The talks were ideas, on a wide range of subjects, that fostered learning, inspiration, and wonder and provoked conversations that mattered, all responding to the prompt “Where is there.” Where THERE draws attention to telling truths, getting to the essence of why the THERE story needed to be shared.
