Calling all UConn undergrads!
UConn’s 4th annual TEDx conference will be held in April 2017, and we want to invite you to begin thinking about what could become the topic of your TEDx talk. The theme for this year’s conference is Catalyst. This can be understood as a representation of the Butterfly Effect, where one idea or event ripples out and can affect intellectual, cultural, social, or political aspects following the initial happening. TED is a globally recognized platform for people to share their ideas through technology, entertainment, and design.
The TEDxUConn organization is currently accepting applications from those who are interested in speaking in our 2017 conference. Please fill out the most applicable 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!
