The TEDxUConn team is currently looking for any UConn students, undergraduate and graduate, interested in speaking at our TEDxUConn Spring 2027 Conference: Down the Rabbit Hole! The tentative date of our conference is Sunday, April 11th, 2027.
TEDxUConn is a student run group, licensed by TED, that independently organizes the TEDxUConn conference 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, with this years being Down the Rabbit Hole.
In a world full of questions, ideas, and possibilities, “Down the Rabbit Hole” encourages us to look beyond what we already know and explore the unexpected. It is about being curious, asking questions, and following ideas that can lead us somewhere new. Sometimes, one question or thought can open the door to a completely different way of seeing the world.
Through this conference, we hope to share ideas that challenge our thinking, introduce new perspectives, and inspire us to explore what lies beyond the familiar. From science and technology to the arts, business, society, and personal growth, we invite speakers to take us “Down the Rabbit Hole” and show us where their ideas, experiences, and curiosity have led them.
Please remember that this statement is meant as a guide and abstract starting point relating to our theme.
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!
