Edge of Possible by TEDxStLouis
Get ready to push boundaries and explore what’s possible with some mind-blowing talks and ideas.
Innovation rarely announces itself politely. It disrupts.
It questions. It redefines.
Edge of Possible explores what happens when researchers, builders, and thinkers push beyond conventional limits and what that means for how we live, heal, design, and think.
In alignment with our mission to showcase St. Louis’ profound impact locally and globally, this event highlights ideas rooted in our region that resonate far beyond it.
You’ll hear from:
- A physician-scientist getting comfortable with discomfort
- A psychiatrist exploring sleep as treatment
- A disability innovator reshaping accessibility systems
- A scientist examining microplastics
- A leading voice in skeptical inquiry
- A photographer of presence - and absence
- An award winning spoken word artist
- A collective using movement to build a brighter world
These are not motivational speeches.
They are ideas that challenge, inform, and expand what’s possible.
