TED provides a stage for global thought leaders to share their ideas and theories on everything cutting edge, from technological advancements to the importance of mental health. TEDxMileHigh, the Denver chapter of TED, connects local audiences and accelerates big ideas in Denver with transformative live events. On Saturday, November 16, 2019, TEDxMileHigh is discussing the invigorating and complex topic of imagination. If you want your place of work to sponsor your attendance, here’s how to get your boss on board.
Why Attend In-Person: The Magic of the Event
With an impressive 60 million online views of talks from speakers at past TEDxMileHigh events, your boss may make the argument to just watch the videos after the event. However, the magic is truly in the event itself.
From in-person connections with outstanding minds to thought-provoking exhibits and experiences, you will have the opportunity to grow personally and professionally—as well as to expand your network during the day and mingle with the speakers at the after-party.
Past Attendees Recommend TEDxMileHigh Events
With cutting edge topics, immersive exhibits, and thousands of attendees, TEDxMileHigh creates social impact and empowers communities with knowledge. TEDxMileHigh’s Net Promoter Score (NPS), an index score measuring attendee loyalty and their willingness to recommend the event, for the Humankind event was an 80. (For context, Starbucks has an NPS score of 77.)
85 to 87% of attendees gave the previous TEDxMileHigh event a 9 or 10 out of 10.
We know this is enough to get you hooked, but what about your boss? We have you covered. Check your company’s policy and requirements for sponsored attendance at events. If needed, we’ve created a letter, a conversation starter, for you to present to your boss to make your case for company-sponsored attendance to the next TEDxMileHigh event.
