RAVE REVIEWS FROM TEDxNatick LAST YEAR 

”I wanted to thank you again for a remarkable conference. I have attended and spoken in TEDx events before, and this was by far the most organized and professionally managed conference that I have seen. The blend of dance and music and speakers and short films made for an incredible day. I can't say enough about the programming.”

       - Matthew Dicks, 20-time Moth Story Champion & TEDxNatick 2016 Speaker  

 

“What a truly amazing experience! The coordination of the event, the professionalism, the visible support of volunteers, and the quality of the speakers was truly awesome.  …thank you for creating an opportunity for me to witness the magic that happened here today.”  

       - Amy Mistrot, School Committee Chairperson

“Let me add to the chorus of well-deserved kudos and congratulations on an excellent (and sold out!) TEDxNatick event. It’s difficult to believe that it was the first of its kind for Natick – it had all the quality, timing, and polish of a very experienced team. On behalf of all the MathWorks volunteers and supporters, we are exceptionally pleased to have had a role in your success!”

       - Kevin Lorenc, MathWorks

She discusses her first-hand experience in Sierra Leone and the unexpected surprises she encountered upon returning to the U.S.
 

Nahid is the Director of Infection Control and Medical Response at National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratory (NEIDL) at Boston University.
