“We build them, we cross them, and sometimes, we even burn them,” said Ajit Mathew George, organizer and executive producer of TEDxWilmington.

At the second Annual TEDxWilmingtonWomen conference, George said, attendees will explore the many aspects of bridges through curated TED and TEDx talks. Thirty-seven speakers from all around the country will take the TEDxWilmington stage on Thursday from 8:00 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. at The Mill Auditorium, Nemours Building in Wilmington.
