The 2024 TEDxVanderbiltUniversity applications are now closed!

The Office of Experiential Learning and Immersion Vanderbilt would like to thank every person who applied for this year’s TEDxVanderbiltUniversity. Applications are currently under review and announcements will be sent in the near future. We’re excited to hear more about your “idea worth spreading!”

Please direct all inquires about TEDxVanderbilt to the Office of Experiential Learning and Immersion Vanderbilt at experiential.learning@vanderbilt.edu.

What is TEDx?

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, 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 TEDxVanderbiltUniversity, where x = independently organized TED event.

At our TEDxVanderbiltUniversity 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.

Interested in speaking at our next TEDxVanderbiltUniversity event?

We look forward to hearing your “ideas worth spreading”. If you need a sounding board to see if your ideas could be developed into a TEDxVandy talk, please reach out using the email below and we’d love to chat with you.
