Break the Mold

Advances in technology have dramatically expanded our access to knowledge, places, and communities. Overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information, it is tempting to retreat to that which is comfortable and known. But what if doing so ends in irrelevance and stagnation? These complex times require a bold embrace of diversity and difference to create value and turn the unknown to one's advantage. In this provocative, day-long event from BCG and TED, we celebrated creators, leaders, and innovators who explore the unexpected to thrive in today’s world.
