+ WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TED AND TEDX?

A TED Conference is a 5-day live event with ticket prices reaching thousands of dollars. They feature speakers from around the world and attendance is by application. TEDx (x = independently organized) events however are one day or less, are live and the organizers and speakers are local. The ticket prices are less than $100.00 and attendees seldom need to apply to attend.

+ WHAT IS TEDXUALBERTA'S VISION?

Our vision is simply to share great ideas on a local stage and create a community of curious, proactive individuals. We aim to do this by organizing and producing an annual conference that highlights a diverse range of challenges presented by local leaders and innovators who also provide optimistic solutions to those challenges. In addition, we’d like to harness the creative energy of the university’s members to address these solutions.

Our executive team surveys and consults with community units and resources both on-campus and off-campus to evaluate individuals in the local sphere who would excel in their role as speakers. In addition, we also accepted nominations from the public on our website, which are assessed by our team for their potential in reaching our target audience and integration with our theme.
