TEDx UNN
 JUNE 26, 2017.

TED is a nonprofit devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form of short, powerful talks (18 minutes or less). In the year 1984, TED began as a conference where Technology, Entertainment and Design met, and currently now covers almost all topics — from science to business to global issues — in more than 100 languages. Meanwhile, independently run TEDx events help share ideas in communities around the world. TEDx was created in the spirit of TED’s mission, “ideas worth spreading.” It supports independent organizers who want to create a TED-like event in their own community. This event is free for everybody. All interested persons that desires to attend the first ever TEDXUNN should apply below.

This concert is called TEDXUNN, 
 where x means independently organized TED event. This is the first ever TEDx event in UNN. Sound speakers and live videos and pictures will be used in the deep discussion.  The TED Conference provides general help for the TED program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.

This independent TEDx event is operated under license from TED.

Date: Sat. July 1st 2017

Venue: Niger Hall, University Guest House, UNN

Time: 08:00 am prompt

Interested in attending the first ever TEDx in UNN? Apply at bit.ly/TEDxUNNapplication
