TEDX

Welcome to TEDxSIUC!

The 2020, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026 TEDxSIUC events were great successes.

The TEDx team is working diligently, planning for TEDxSIUC 2027. Speaker applications are now open. Register today to reserve your spot.

In the meantime, learn more about our event and watch presentations from our previous events.

This independent TEDx event is operated under license from TED.

What is TEDx?

In the spirit of ideas that change everything, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxSIUC, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxSIUC event, TED Talks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
