  • TEDxUConn Seeking LIVE Speakers

    Calling all UConn Students!

     

    UConn’s 7th annual TEDx conference will be held April 5th, 2020, and we would like to invite you to apply to speak. Every year our conferences are structured around a theme, and our theme this year is Patchwork.

     

    How can one build up to something bigger than the individual and contribute to the whole? Each piece is unique and necessary, and each stitch is a connection. 

     

    The TEDxUConn organization is currently accepting applications from those who are interested in speaking in our 2020 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!
