TEDxFIU watch parties on South Beach & at BBC


Don’t have tickets to the university’s event of the year – TEDxFIU? Don’t fret. You can still get the TEDx experience at one of two live simulcast events.

The Miami Beach Urban Studios (MBUS) will be hosting a watch party in their main gallery at 420 Lincoln Road, South Beach. Co-sponsored by the College of Architecture + The Arts (CARTA) and the TEDxFIU club, the party is free and open to the public. Guests will be treated to appetizers and refreshments during the show. And professors from CARTA will be available after the talks to discuss the presentations.
