Theme: BEACON

We are excited to invite you to the TEDxEffurun conference themed; BEACON!

We have outlined a speaker list of trailblazers to share powerful ideas that can challenge common perceptions, encourage
critical thinking, and create meaningful change. Thus, objectively creating a positive impact.

The BEACON theme signifies a guiding light or signal that illuminates the way forward.

At TEDxEffurun, we believe that ideas are the guiding lights that lead us towards positive change.
