TEDx Berkshires 2025
Our goal is to bring powerful ideas to an audience that is every bit as interesting as the speakers.
The Berkshire Innovation Center was honored to organize and host the 2023 and 2024 editions of TEDx Berkshires and to do it again in 2025. We converted our main event space into an originally designed and outfitted TEDx studio set. We produced a fun and intimate event of people coming together to hear terrific speakers, and promising stories that we can all feel good about.

As a resilience expert, positive psychologist and international consultant, she is known for her authenticity, wisdom and compassion.
