+ Venue
The Grounds for Hope Cafe is a high-class community center with accommodations for extremely technical and high-level events. It features multiple, modularly expandable classrooms, a large foyer with a cafe, and a state-of-the-art auditorium.
The auditorium, where TEDxNaperville speakers present, houses 20×40 ft projection walls that redefine the standard presentation format to an IMAX-like atmosphere, a high-definition surround sound system, and an array of advanced lighting and visual abilities. TEDxNaperville 2011 & 2012 attendees were amazed at how the venue enhanced their TED experience to a whole new level.
