ABOUT

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxEmilyCarrU, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxEmilyCarrU event, live speakers and performers will combine to spark deep connection and discussion in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.

TEDxEmilyCarrU’s mission is to bring together a dynamic group of thinkers and doers in a proactive setting that builds new connections to lead to progress and collaboration, and take participants to a next level of thought and action.

ADVISOR

Scott Mallory

Originally launched by Scott Mallory as TEDxECUAD in 2016, he passed on his role to Nidhi Hira, a third-year Industrial Design student at Emily Carr University in 2020. We also see a new team with a mix of old and new members from all faculties! Each one of us brings our own unique set of skills and interests, but we all share the common goal of wanting to create a meaningful TEDx event safely in these times.
