The Studio at Mizner Park is enjoying a busy peak season. Currently hosting the “BIJOUX!” show of artist-made jewelry, the downtown Boca venue will partner with the Symphonia for two days of leading-edge classical music on Jan. 24-25. And three weeks from today, the Studio will present a new TEDx event, TEDxMizner Blvd.

Organized and hosted by consciousness leader, SoulTech Foundation founder and bestselling author Cynthia L. Elliott, the event will feature at least eight speakers clustered around the timely theme of “Disruption in the Age of A.I.” Speaking from 6 to 9:30 p.m. Feb. 4, these experts will address issues surrounding the unprecedented entry of artificial intelligence into our lives but also spin off into fields such as wellness, leadership, creativity, social impact, human potential and cultural evolution.

Elliott has convened a lineup of speakers from around the corner and around the world. Boca-based presenters include Judy Weaver, yoga therapist, educator and founder of Connected Warriors, which pioneered trauma-conscious yoga therapy to active-duty service members, veterans, first responders and their families; Laura Waldorf Reiss, social entrepreneur and founder of the Kindness Matters Foundation; Matt Savarick, growth strategist and founder of Vibe GTM, which harnesses A.I. for businesses looking to scale up; and Dr. Shivani Gupta, a top author, Emmy-nominated show host and podcaster whose products focus on the benefits of holistic and Ayurvedic medicine.

TEDx will also feature at least four speakers from outside the area. These include Eugina Jordan, a holder of 24 tech patents and the CEO and co-founder of YOUnifiedAI, which focuses on human potential in the A.I. revolution; Dr. Pauldy Otermans, an influential tech leader in the United Kingdom who focuses on the positive deployment of A.I. in education; Dev Aditya, an A.I. expert from London who helped build the first Digital Human AI Teacher for Dr. Otermans’ institute; and Eric Malka, an author, CEO and investment guru who developed the Art of Shaving, a disruptive brand in the luxury men’s grooming industry.
