To learn more about our speakers and their talks, please visit http://tedxvanderbiltuniversity.com/tedxvu/speakers/. Our speakers were selected in April and have been working since that time to develop 10 minutes of TEDx worthy content that would lead our audience to feel moved to taking positive action in their lives, on our campus, in the community, and in the world. All of our speakers delivered and our audience expressed gratitude at spending two hours of their Sunday immersed in such a broad slate of ideas. We will announce on our website and social media channels when the talks will be available to view on YouTube.
TEDxVandy only happens because of a dedicated team of students, staff, and faculty who help us bring it to life. Our Planning Team helps us to select our speakers, coach our speakers, and deliver a quality live and virtual experience to the audience. Thank you to everyone who played a role in this event including our event host, Andrew Brodsky ’18.
If our license is renewed, applications for TEDxVandy 2018 will launch on March 1.
