Attending TEDx Winnipeg is more than just showing up for a day of inspiring talks—it’s about immersing yourself in the energy, ideas, and connections that make this event truly transformative. Whether it’s your first TEDx experience or you’re a seasoned attendee, there are ways to make the most of every moment.

Here’s your guide to maximizing your TEDx Winnipeg experience so you leave inspired, energized, and ready to act on the ideas that resonate with you.

1. Arrive with an Open Mind

TEDx events are designed to challenge conventional thinking and present fresh perspectives. Prepare to hear stories, ideas, and viewpoints that might be different from your own. The more open-minded you are, the more likely you are to leave with valuable insights that can inspire change in your personal or professional life.

2. Plan Ahead

Before the event, familiarize yourself with the speaker lineup and schedule. This will help you identify talks you’re especially excited to hear and topics that align with your interests.

You can also prepare questions or conversation starters for the networking opportunities. For example:

• “What inspired you to attend TEDx Winnipeg this year?”
• “Which speaker are you most excited to see?”

Planning ahead ensures you won’t miss out on what matters most to you.

3. Bring the Right Tools

While your brain is your most powerful tool at TEDx Winnipeg, a few extras can help you get the most out of the day:

• Notebook and Pen: Jot down key takeaways, quotes that inspire you, or ideas sparked by the talks.
• Business Cards: Networking is a big part of the event, so bring cards to share with new connections.
• Reusable Water Bottle: Stay hydrated while being eco-friendly.

4. Network with Purpose

TEDx Winnipeg is as much about the audience as it is about the speakers. You’ll be surrounded by people who are passionate about ideas and change-making, so take advantage of this unique opportunity to connect.

Networking Tips:

• Arrive Early: Use the time before the event or during breaks to introduce yourself to others.
• Be Curious: Ask thoughtful questions about what brought others to the event or their thoughts on the talks.
• Follow Up: After the event, connect with people you’ve met on LinkedIn or email to continue the conversation.

Many attendees have shared that the connections they made at TEDx Winnipeg were just as impactful as the talks themselves!

5. Be Present

It’s tempting to check your phone or multitask, but TEDx Winnipeg is best experienced when you’re fully engaged. Put your phone on silent, sit back, and give your undivided attention to the speakers and performances.

By being present, you’ll absorb more of the ideas and connect more deeply with the energy of the event.

6. Reflect and Act on What You’ve Learned

The real power of TEDx events lies in what you do after the day is over. Take time to reflect on the talks and performances that resonated with you. Ask yourself:

• “What’s one idea I can implement in my life?”
• “How can I use this inspiration to create change in my community or work?”

You don’t have to act on every idea, but even small steps can lead to meaningful transformation.

7. Share Your Experience

After the event, share your experience with others. Whether it’s posting your favorite quotes on social media, starting a discussion with friends, or blogging about what inspired you, spreading the word helps amplify the ideas worth spreading.
