Theme: Starters

TEDxAPBS is an independently organized event by a group of students who are dedicated and passionate about ideas worth spreading.
Our conference is designed to foster growth and inspire young people. The talks vary widely in format, message, and ideas, but they share a common vision: to inspire curiosity and empower future generation of “starters” - those who will change their societies, nations, and the world. Every idea has a story behind it and every story has a beginning. Exploring each story piece by piece, we can see the whole picture, open new horizons, and possibilities.
