AccelerateEvents

Through AccelerateEvents, we’re not just hosting events—we’re building a movement. Each gathering is designed to ignite conversation, connect communities, and empower participants to take action. Together, we’re creating the momentum for change and shaping the future, one event at a time.

The Challenge

Communities around the world are facing unprecedented challenges. 

From economic instability to social fragmentation, the issues are complex and multifaceted. Without strong leadership and a collaborative approach, these challenges can seem insurmountable, leading to a sense of helplessness and stagnation.

From Los Angeles, CA to Saint Petersburg, FL the communities are diverse, yet many problems are shared. From homelessness to broad economic divides, to rapid development with many left behind.

Join us for our events designed to bring together some of the brightest minds with some of the community’s most active members. Together, we can make a brighter future for all.

TEDxGrandPark is a knowledge-sharing platform for ideas and solutions to some of the community’s biggest problems.  As residents of Downtown Los Angeles, we founded this TEDx event to bring together people from the community, united by a “do what you can, share what you have” attitude toward solving the issues and problems we live with every day.

Our mission: To be a catalyst, 
putting Ideas Into Action.
What We've Achieved

Through our initiatives we’ve had a significant impact, starting in Los Angeles California. Our goals are to expand that impact across the US in response to the big impact felt by the global health crisis and how it has impacted education and the global economy.
