Calling all Undergraduate UConn Students!
UConn’s 6th annual TEDx conference will be held April 7th 2019, and we want to invite you to begin thinking about what could become the topic of your TEDx talk. Every year our conferences are structured around a theme, and our theme this year is Crushing the Comfort Zone.
Comfort zones are where we feel at ease as individuals, organizations, or as a society at large. They are familiar places, however nothing ever grows there. Those who are most successful constantly challenge these comfort zones rather than letting their familiarity define them.
The TEDxUConn organization is currently accepting applications from those who are interested in speaking in our 2019 conference. Please fill out the application below and remember that the power of TED talks are rooted in their accessibility and relatability, so consider how your idea appeals to a global audience!
Student application:

In addition to the application link above, please submit a 2 minute video giving a broad outline on the topic of your talk. The application and video submission deadline is February 1st, 2019.
***Video submissions are to be sent via email to tedxcuration@gmail.com***
If you would like to nominate a name, we encourage you to forward this information to them!
An information session regarding the student speaker selection process is TBD and will be announcing the location, date and time shortly. We will be going over further steps in the application process, student speaker expectations, and the preparation needed for the conference in April.
