September 13, 2018 By Dayton Most Metro

 The TEDxDayton  lineup of speakers for this year’s event was announced last night. All are from or connected to the Dayton area and were selected from a rigorous application and audition process. They’re coming to the stage in the TED spirit of ideas worth spreading and sharing. “We’re really happy about this year’s lineup, and are proud of the hard work our speakers have put into getting ready for the talk of their lives,” said John Owen, co-chair of this year’s event. “Nearly 200 people applied to give talks this year. We’re working with an outstanding group.”
