TEDxYouth@BommerCanyon 3rd Annual Conference

More than a dozen innovative speakers will inspire you in 10 minutes-or-less talks to be enjoyed by kids of ALL ages.

A mixture of adults and teens share ideas that matter such as how to learn a universal language in 6 minutes flat or how a nine year old boy started a library in Peru from the comfort of his home in Huntington Beach. The net result: a rich dialogue between generations to connect your family and your community.

ONLINE TICKETING CLOSED. TICKETS AVAILABLE AT THE DOOR.
