The first-ever TEDx event in the Cayman Islands was held April 3, 2014, and featured 11 speakers who showcased their own ideas worth spreading to 100 delegates live. Designed to give communities, organisations and individuals the opportunity to stimulate dialogue through TED-like experiences, Tower jumped at the chance to partner and be involved with TEDxSevenMileBeach and the incredible team of volunteers. TEDxSevenMileBeach engaged our community and exposed the world to Cayman’s thought-leaders and talented group of entrepreneurial minds who gathered to attend. With over 9,800 views of TEDxSevenMileBeach official Talks on YouTube, this wide-reaching event was nothing short of amazing.
