USI accepting proposals through October 30 for third annual TEDxUSI event

The University of Southern Indiana will host the third annual TEDxUSI—an independently organized TEDx event—on Wednesday, March 24, as part of the Core Speaker Series. The two-hour event will feature engaging talks followed by interactive Discover USI sessions. Attendees can enjoy light refreshments, thought-provoking presentations and hands-on activities throughout the evening.

USI is currently seeking dynamic speakers with powerful ideas for TEDxUSI. Like TED itself, TEDxUSI is grounded in the belief that ideas change everything. The event places the emphasis on the idea itself and its power to challenge assumptions, spark conversation and create meaningful change. Members of the University community and beyond are invited to submit proposals that reflect this spirit by Friday, October 30.

While the event may feature voices from outside the University, TEDxUSI will primarily highlight the creativity and innovation of USI faculty, staff, students, alumni and community partners. Talks will be recorded and shared on the official TEDx YouTube channel, extending the impact to a global audience.

To apply, complete the TEDx Speaker Proposal Form by Friday, October 30. Please note that while all submissions will be reviewed, individual responses may not be possible.
