It's about “ideas worth spreading”

TED stands for Technology, Entertainment and Design, known worldwide for their TED and TEDx Talks we watch online.

The X in TEDx stands for an independent organization, marking TEDxSFU as an initiative driven by passionate people from SFU.

Student team, industry experience
