If you know, you know. And if you don’t, you can learn a whole lot from those in the know at TEDxUCincinnati’s annual TED Talk event.

The ninth-annual If You Know, You Know will bring in eight speakers from the Cincinnati area and across the country to share their insider secrets, hardships, failures and behind-the-scenes endeavors.
