Calling all UConn Students!
We would like to invite you to apply to speak at TEDxUConn’s Fall 2021 Salon Conference: Connecting the Dots. The tentative date is Sunday, November 14th 2021. Every year our conferences are structured around a theme, and our theme for this event is Connecting the Dots.
We take a look around us and notice all the elements that surround us as seemingly individual parts. However, those unrelated elements have the potential to come together in unexpected ways. For instance, big ideas can come from a combination of smaller ideas. Tracing through the course of our lives, how can we connect our experiences to achieve a greater understanding? How can we draw a bigger picture by Connecting the Dots?
The TEDxUConn organization is currently accepting applications from those who are interested in speaking at our Fall 2021 salon 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!
