TEDx Winnipeg – Our Local Impact

May 21, 2025 | Blog

Every Idea Shared Helps Build a Stronger Manitoba

TEDx Winnipeg isn’t just a one-day event. It’s a movement built right here, by the community, for the community. Behind the scenes, our team of dedicated volunteers works year-round to bring together inspiring speakers, creative minds, and curious attendees—all while keeping our impact local.

100% Volunteer-Run

TEDx Winnipeg is entirely organized by volunteers. We don’t collect salaries, honorariums, or bonuses. Every role—from speaker coaching to stage production—is powered by people who believe in the value of sharing ideas that matter.

Every Dollar Stays in Manitoba

All ticket sales, sponsorships, and donations are reinvested right here in our province. These funds help us:

  • Host future TEDx Winnipeg events
  • Work with Manitoba-based AV teams, designers, printers, and caterers
  • Promote the event through marketing and production support

Why This Matters

When you support TEDx Winnipeg, you’re not just attending an event—you’re helping build a lasting platform for local voices, ideas, and change-makers. Every year, your ticket and your support fuel the next wave of speakers, connections, and bold ideas.

From food vendors and event signage to marketing and media production, we prioritize working with organizations based in Manitoba or across Canada. Supporting TEDx Winnipeg means supporting small businesses, artists, and entrepreneurs in our community.
