TICKETS ON SALE NOW FOR THIS YEAR’S TEDxDAYTON MAIN EVENT
July 24, 2019 (DAYTON, Ohio) — Tickets are on sale now for the seventh annual TEDxDayton Signature Event, happening at the Victoria Theatre in downtown Dayton on Friday, Oct. 11, 2019.
As in years past, TEDxDayton’s biggest event will feature a full slate of locally connected speakers who will share their “ideas worth spreading” on topics ranging across science, education, design, technology, art, history, culture and more. The day will also include performances by artists, dancers and musicians from the Dayton area.
The event runs from 12:15 to 5:30 p.m. The afternoon’s program will include two intermissions with snacks and beverages.
Tickets cost $50 per person and can be obtained at www.ticketcenterstage.com/TEDxDayton.
“We hope people will get their tickets early,” said Ron Rollins, who is co-chairing the event with John Owen and Bridget Hutt. “Our Signature Event at the gorgeous Vic has sold out each of the last six years, and we know there are a lot of fans who have been with us year after year. Folks look forward to this.”
Hutt, a former TEDxDayton speaker, reflected on this year’s talks and on the year’s theme, “Connect.”
“Our differences can divide us if we let them, but our connections unite us, whether we like it or not. Strike up a conversation with any person on the street, and guaranteed you’ll be able to find things you have in common,” Hutt said. “This year’s TEDxDayton lineup is jam-packed with speakers from diverse backgrounds, perspectives and professions. What they have in common is passion and a desire to connect with you and with all our Dayton neighbors, to share ideas worth spreading.”
Downtown Dayton restaurants and stores are also participating in the fun, offering discounts and quick options for TEDxDayton attendees. For the full list of venues, visit tedxdayton.com/signature-event.
In addition to the Signature Event each fall at the Victoria Theatre, the locally based TEDxDayton organization each year also produces TEDxYouth@Dayton, with talks by local high-schoolers, and a series of TEDxDaytonSalon events, which happen in smaller venues and focus on particular topics three times a year.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TED Talks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)
