The TEDxUConn team is currently looking for speakers interested in speaking at our TEDxUConn Spring 2025 Conference: The Art of Possibility! The tentative date is Sunday, March 30th, 2025.

TEDxUConn is a student run group, licensed by TED, that independently organizes the TEDxUConn event each year. Our goal is to bring together members of our community to give talks that provoke learning, inspiration, wonder, and conversation. Our conferences are structured around a theme, and our theme for this conference is The Art of Possibility. 

In a world often shaped by real and perceived limitations, “The Art of Possibility” invites us to reimagine what is possible when we challenge conventional thinking. Whether in science, education, business, arts, humanities, or even personal growth, we are often constrained by the boundaries we assume to exist. However, recreating what is possible encourages us to break free from those confines, to ask “what if,” and to embrace innovation and optimism as tools for shaping the future. We hope to explore how the local UConn community transforms challenges into opportunities, turning uncertainty into inspiration. By seeing potential where others see obstacles, we open “The Art of Possibility” and unlock the potential for a better tomorrow. .

Please remember that this statement is meant as a guide and abstract starting point relating to our theme. 

Please fill out the 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!

***Please also email us a copy of your resume/CV + your two minute talk description video to tedxuconn@gmail.com***
