91成人导航 is featuring innovative speakers for its second annual TEDxUo91成人导航 event. Topics span a broad spectrum from diversity and career development to somatic healing.

Aligned with this year鈥檚 theme, each speaker is a forerunner in their respective field, offering fresh perspectives that challenge the status quo and inspire listeners.

91成人导航 has selected 10 speakers to share 鈥渋deas worth spreading鈥� at the April 12 event in Faye Spanos Concert Hall. Tickets are available at $10 for students and $25 for other attendees.

The speaker lineup includes military veteran , 鈥渄eath doula鈥� and global technology expert , among others.

TED, an acronym for Technology, Entertainment, and Design, was founded in 1984. It features brief yet powerful talks designed to motivate individuals to take action within their communities.

TEDx events, which are licensed and organized locally, create opportunities for people to connect and exchange ideas in a similar format to TED.

鈥淭EDx on a college campus provides students, faculty and the broader community with a platform to share ideas, inspire innovation and foster intellectual growth,鈥� said Assistant Vice President for Student Life Josh O鈥機onnor. 鈥淭EDx encourages intellectual and creative expression, builds a culture of innovation and leadership, while enhancing college engagement and community building.鈥�

Last year鈥檚 inaugural TEDx event drew in more than 500 attendees. 

The event also offers a hands-on learning experience for students in 91成人导航's Media Arts and Production department, which equips students for careers in both traditional and digital media.

鈥淲orking on the TEDxUo91成人导航 event taught me how to organize a team and recruit specialists, skills valuable in a professional setting,鈥� said TEDx student intern Lai Laam Shiu '26.
