TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. Started as a four-day conference in California 30 years ago, TED has grown to support its mission with multiple initiatives. The two annual TED conferences invite the world’s leading thinkers and doers to Vancouver, British Columbia to speak for 18 minutes or less.
TEDxUofW is established to bring inspirational and informative TED style talks to the University of Washington. Our all student-run organization has put on a sold-out event for four years in a row, gathering a collection of great creative thinkers, scientific minds, community leaders, and much more.
TEDxUofW’s annual conference is made possible by a team of creative and hardworking undergraduate students. If you would like to apply the concepts and skills you learned in the classroom to the real world by contributing to the planning process of the TEDxUofW 2023 conference, while being part of a welcoming and supportive registered student organization that will produce unforgettable memories, reach out to us at tedxuofw@uw.edu!
