TEDx Tinley Park - October 4
Inaugural TEDx Tinley Park Event
Eileen Kerlin Walsh sits down with Spero Speropoulos, founder and organizer of TEDx Tinley Park, for a behind-the-scenes look at what’s in store for the inaugural event—and shares some exciting news of her own: she’ll be taking the TEDx Tinley Park stage as one of this year’s speakers.
Hear what inspired Spero to bring the TEDx experience to Tinley Park, how nearly 200 applicants were narrowed down to just 15 speakers, and why this year’s theme, “Come Together,” feels especially meaningful. They also explore what makes an idea truly worth spreading and what attendees can expect from a day designed not only to inspire, but to spark conversation, create connections and leave people looking at something in a new way.
Be there as TEDx Tinley Park takes the stage for the very first time.
