Theme: Creating the Sound

This year, the conference theme is “Creating the Sound,” syncing up with Penn's “Year of Sound” programming. The conference will bring together some of the brightest Penn thinkers and doers, each one invited to talk about an idea worth spreading. The speakers will come from a variety of departments, fields of research, and areas of expertise, ranging from undergraduate students to faculty. These talks are not lectures; each one is designed to engage the audience, challenge conventional ideas or practices, and hopefully expand the way that we think.

200+ graduate and undergraduate students, industry professionals, subject area experts, and members of academia are expected to attend this year's TEDxPenn conference. Audience selection will prioritize applicants that demonstrate a keen interest in learning more about the TEDxPenn initiatives taking place on Penn’s campus, who will hopefully be empowered by the conference to carry out their own projects as well.
