TEDxShorelineDrive: Mainstage Event

After nearly a year of planning, rehearsing, building community, and believing in the power of ideas, the inaugural TEDxShorelineDrive Main Stage Event is finally here.

Join us as we celebrate the spirit of Perseverance through seven powerful speakers whose stories challenge, inspire, and remind us that resilience can transform lives, communities, and the future.

This is more than a speaking event—it's a celebration of Long Beach. Together, we've hosted community gatherings, networking events, and countless rehearsals leading to this moment. Now, our speakers take the TEDx stage for the very first time.
