TEDxUW is the University of Waterloo’s official TEDx experience, and the latest in a series of 3,000+ events being held around the world as part of the global TED movement to create open platforms for riveting ideas to be shared, for free, with the world. Our mission is to bring together intelligent, connected, extremely talented and energetic members of the University of Waterloo community in ord
er to build an engaged community of change-makers, and showcase their ideas and achievements to a world audience of nearly 300 million people. In the process, we hope to highlight the collective contributions of our university to global society at-large, while positioning the University of Waterloo as a world-class community where great minds and big ideas always meet. TEDxUW aims to put the extended University of Waterloo community onto a new type of global activity map that is being watched, shared and talked about by more than 300 million of the world’s top thinkers, thought leaders, businessmen, problem-solvers, entrepreneurs, writers, activists and change-makers. Our event is organized by a cross-disciplinary team of students, staff, faculty, alumni, co-op employers, local entrepreneurs and senior university executives.
