TEDxNapierville Press Release

What do a certificate of friendship from the KKK, a machete wielding thug , and Pablo Picasso’s paint have in common?

Naperville (November 10, 2017) – TEDxNaperville is an annual free-thinking conference that brings the brightest minds of Chicagoland and beyond to Naperville to share ideas worth spreading. The conference will be held Nov. 10 from 1pm-7pm at the Yellow Box, Naperville.
