Imagine a place where ground-breaking ideas, transformative stories, and bold visions for the future come together—a space that inspires, challenges, and ignites change. That’s what TEDx is all about. TEDx events bring the spirit of TED’s global mission, “Ideas Worth Spreading,” to local communities, providing a platform for voices that need to be heard.
Here in Manitoba, TEDx has grown into a dynamic hub for creativity, innovation, and connection. Whether you’re a newcomer to TEDx or a long-time supporter, this article will show you why TEDx Winnipeg is a must-have experience and how it’s shaping our province for the better.
What Is TEDx?
TEDx events are independently organized, community-driven events licensed by TED. They follow the same core principles as TED conferences, featuring thought-provoking talks and performances that span technology, entertainment, design, science, and more. However, TEDx events are tailored to their local audiences, showcasing ideas and stories that resonate deeply with the community.
TEDx Winnipeg is no exception. Since its inception, it has grown into a celebrated event where local changemakers and global thinkers converge to spark conversations that matter.
