TEDxTheBritish UniversityinDubai 2022

We bring ideas worth spreading from The British University in Dubai to the world.

About TED

TED is a non-profit organisation devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. Started as a four-day conference in California almost 30 years ago, TED has grown to support those world-changing ideas with multiple initiatives. The two annual TED Conferences invite the world’s leading thinkers and doers to speak for 18 minutes on a diverse mix of topics. Many of these talks are then made available, free, at TED.com. TED speakers have included Bill Gates, Jane Goodall, Elizabeth Gilbert, Sir Richard Branson, Nandan Nilekani, Philippe Starck, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Isabel Allende and former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown.

What is TEDx?

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED created a programme called TEDx. TEDx is a programme of local, self-organised events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience.  Many of the world’s leading universities and education institutions have run TEDx events as part of their thought leadership and their engagement with their communities and wider society.

TEDxThe BritishUniversityinDubai

At our TEDxTheBritishUniversityinDubai event, TED Talks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx programme, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organised.

TEDxTheBritishUniversityinDubai was started in January 2020 as a way of engaging our  students, staff, and stakeholders. After almost a year of preparation and in spite of the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic we were able to showcase some brilliant speakers at this inaugural event.  Hosting a TEDx event gives us the opportunity to share and showcase the unique innovation and ideas that our community creates and offers, not only within the UAE and Middle East but in a wider global context.
