TEDxSUU: Transcendence

TEDxSUU will be held on Tuesday, February 20, 2024 at 7:00 p.m. in the Great Hall.

The TEDx motto is Ideas Worth Spreading. The TEDx mission is “to discover and spread ideas that spark imagination, embrace possibility and catalyze impact” (TED Ideas worth spreading). “[TED] is devoted to curiosity, reason, wonder and the pursuit of knowledge” (TED Ideas worth spreading).

Following these objectives, we’ve chosen Transcendence as our theme. Five speakers will be chosen to share experiences that have produced better-than-expected results.

Thank you for auditioning to be a TEDxSUU speaker!
