Thoughts and opinions will be bouncing off the walls, as 91ÑÇÉ« hosts its fifth annual TEDx91ÑÇÉ«U event at the Keele campus on March 28 in the Tribute Communities Recital Hall.
The theme of this year’s event is "Ricochet."
Like an idea, the likelihood of a ricochet is dependent on many factors. When in motion it absorbs and interacts with its environment, ricocheting off elements and rarely traveling in a straight line.
TEDx91ÑÇÉ«U is looking for compelling and creative members of the 91ÑÇÉ« community with an interesting idea or important vision to share. Those who are selected will be paired with a member of the speaker relations team who will assist them in the development of their talk and presentation, helping to ensure the best possible delivery and reception. Completed talks are then uploaded to the wider TEDx community, which has helped make TEDx91ÑÇÉ«U the most viewed series of talks associated with 91ÑÇÉ«.
Previous events have included the following speakers and topics:
- a speech by Luke Durward, kinesiology student in the Fitness Assessment & Exercise Counselling certificate stream, on , which has generated more than half a million views on YouTube;
- Janet Morrison, vice-provost students at 91ÑÇÉ«, shared her passion on the importance of success and community engagement for students in her  talk; and
- Andrew Eckford, Lassonde School of Engineering professor, discussed his specialty in unconventional communication systems in his talk, .
Interested speakers are welcome to apply until Jan. 15. 91ÑÇÉ« community members are also invited to apply to be a part of the audience and will have a chance to do so online in the coming months.
