TEDxGatewayArch is Tomorrow!

For anyone not aware, TED talks are inspirational videos that cover Technology, Entertainment, and Design (TED), and TEDx events are local, independently held conferences that apply those themes a bit closer to home.

Tomorrow marks the first publicly available TEDx event for St. Louis! The bad news is that it has been sold out for a couple days now. The good news is that there is an live stream for the event for anyone that wishes to view the presentations.
