Hug a Volunteer! Hug a Sponsor!

TEDxWinnipeg takes a tremendous amount of human energy and resources to pull together and is almost entirely volunteer-based.

We are incredibly grateful for the people who stepped forward to donate their time and financial contributions to make this event a success.

Take the time to view our sponsor page and prepare your hug-attack when you see them!

Wishing a friend or colleague could join you?

TEDxWinnipeg2017 is completely sold out, but you can tell your friends, family and colleagues about our free Livestream Feed, and we have some tips for how they can host a viewing party.

We’ll see you on Tuesday!

On behalf of all the incredible people working to make this event a success we look forward to spending the day with you Tuesday, June 6 at the RBC Convention Centre!
