Two CU-Boulder students and one CU-Boulder alumni first created TEDxCU in the fall of 2012. The event was created to bring the student community, and the community of Boulder together to experience an evening of thought provoking talks. The University of Colorado and the Community of Boulder are both thought leaders within their respective arenas, and both parties have a lot to offer one another. We set out to create an event that would mesh the two, and serve as a connecting platform for both groups. We source speakers from the University and the community of Boulder. We have hosted three successful TEDxCU events, and look to build a long standing tradition that organizers, students, and the surrounding community can look forward to each spring.
