Message from the Organizer
The fifth TEDxNJIT proved to be our most successful yet. We appreciate all the continued support of our iniative to bring attention to Newark, a city often associated with a bad connotation, and show that this city has plenty of positive offerings, from its expanding business and economic development, to its social and cultural aspects. TEDxNJIT Connections brought in record numbers for the history of the event and we hope we can continue to improve and develop the program even further. With international and local viewers, we hope to build this audience even further and help to share ideas that are really worth sharing.
– Kevin Ly on behalf of the TEDxNJIT team

While we appreciate any coverage, we kindly ask that all journalists and/or bloggers be respectful of the difference between the TED and TEDx brands. The ‘x’ in ‘TEDx’ stands for “independently organized events.” Any headline or text which implies “TED” is coming to NJIT is misleading. For more information on TEDx, visit http://www.ted.com/tedx.
