The evening event will be held at Delaware State University’s Martin Luther King Auditorium. Del State is a recurring location for TEDxDover, and hosted one of its first events in 2017. That event, themed “On the Wings of Diverse Thought,” was the very first TEDx event to be held at a Historically Black College or University (HBCU).

Speakers this time around will include:

  • Craig Lytle
  • Taryn Murphy
  • Tyler Kuhn
  • Greg Plum
  • Heather Cox
  • Cliffvon Howell
  • Darryl Chambers
  • Yah Hughes
  • Dr. David Carter

You know Plum as a channel strategy advisor for Markee, board member for the Technology Forum of Delaware and chair of CompTIA’s Emerging Technology Community. Also from the tech world is Cox, a Newark-based web designer.

Tickets cost $29. As this is an in-person event, all attendees will be required to fill out a COVID-19 screening card and submit a negative COVID-19 test. Attendees will also be required to wear masks and practice social distancing.
