Resource talk:How to organize a TEDx event on your campus

As an avid listener to TEDTalks podcasts, I am amazed that a student-led initiative brought a TEDx event to the university setting. Spoken word is very powerful, and to add to the author's point there is benefit to having shorter talks that leave the audience contemplating the mental stimulation they experienced instead of dosing off during a longer deliberation. I would be interested to see how the format of a TEDx Talk on campus would change amidst a global pandemic.

Very Interesting Read

When I read this, I imagined what it would be like for our campus to host a TEDx talk and how that would look. This is such a fantastic way to bring people out of the community to talk about ideas worth spreading.

Inspiring and Encouraging

Interesting and Exciting

I always wondered how different colleges were able to host TEDx talks on their campus, my school hosted one last year. I think this is a great way to hear really interesting stories from people on campus and give people a chance to discuss new ideas and perfect their public speaking.

TEDx in the time of COVID-19

I found this topic very interesting and exciting! The idea of bringing TEDx to a college campus through student effort is very impressive. The topic made me look up whether my school had a TEDx and made me start thinking about how TEDx could occur in a virtual setting and how it could help bring people together. Definitely made me think, which I really appreciate!

Inspiring meeting at our uni?

As a big fan of TED talks myself I love to hear about so many inspirational ideas. So I thought how special it would be to organize such a TEDx event on our campus and hear about ideas from people from our university. Additionally it would be fun to organize and you would meet many students, faculty members,... with inspiring ideas. Good to know is that it took about 3/4 year to organize and that it might take time and frustration until you get the TEDx event license.
