The TEDxUConn team is currently looking for any faculty members interested in speaking at our upcoming virtual TEDxUConn Spring 2021 salon conference, which will be held on March 27th.
TEDxUConn is a student run group, licensed by TED, that independently organizes the TEDxUConn event each year. Our goal is to bring together members of our community to give talks that provoke learning, inspiration, wonder, and conversation. Our conferences are structured around a theme, and our theme for this conference is Looking Forward.
The driving idea behind this theme is to provoke listeners to consider adjustments in individuals’ daily lives in a digital world, post-pandemic. Use the results of the COVID-19 pandemic to better understand a more progressive, productive way to move forward. What morals, lessons, or thinking strategies can we gain from all we’ve been through?
This statement is meant as a guide and abstract starting point for a talk; it is not a prompt.
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!

***Please also email us a copy of your resume/CV to tedxuconn@gmail.com***
Please fill out the application if you would like to be considered as a speaker by February 17th @ 11:59pm. If you would like to nominate a colleague, we would love to reach out to them. Feel free to contact us anytime with questions and thoughts.
We plan to have our conference live-streamed to maintain social distance.
Thank you for your consideration,
