Why Fulton Street?
Fulton Street is urban design, conceptual art, and marketing — all wrapped together. It begins in Lower Manhattan, and then continues in Brooklyn on the other side of the East River. The two ends were connected by one of Robert Fulton’s steamboats.
We see it symbolically: as a manifestation of entrepreneurship, and as a creative bridge between communities.
The downtown Manhattan area near Fulton Street is vibrant with business, finance, and engineering. The corresponding segment in Brooklyn is home to colleges and universities.
These are our people: the creators, the lifelong learners, the world-changers.
What kind of business is this?
TEDxFultonStreet is an independently operated, officially licensed, franchise of the world-famous TED Talks. This means that we follow the structure and spirit of TED, but the curation decisions are our own and all aspects of the production are handled by the volunteers of tedxfultonstreet.com/team.
We operate under the fiscal sponsorship of Silver Squirrel Foundation, which is a federally recognized 501(c)3 not-for-profit based in New York City. The Board and Senior Management of TEDxFultonStreet accept no salary or compensation of any kind.
