Selected from hundreds of applicants and guided by Head of TED, Chris Anderson, ACC's 2020 and 2021 TED Masterclass cohorts learned to identify, develop, and share their big ideas through storytelling.

We hope you enjoy these uniquely compelling stories, rooted in and revealing both the professional and human sides of your peers. 

Many thanks to Saul Ewing Arnstein & Lehr LLP for providing the generous support that made this program possible.
