June 20, 2012 – TEDxHoboken will take place in June of 2013 at The Babbio Center at Stevens Institute of Technology. The independently organized event, licensed by TED, will feature TEDTalks videos, original speakers, music and dance.

TEDxHoboken was created by a group of enthusiastic dreamers and inspired enthusiasts that believe in the power of ideas, knowledge, hope, breakthroughs and a better future. Their goal is to draw a number of artists, entrepreneurs, scientists and enlightened souls to the Hoboken area. "Infinite Horizons" is the theme chosen because when you look at the breathtaking view from Hoboken, you can conjure up an infinity of ideas for your life.

"Hoboken is a vibrant city full of creative talent, and I'm very excited that TEDxHoboken will offer an opportunity to share ideas and for participants to learn from each other", added Mayor Dawn Zimmer.
