TEDxUTSC 2013 explores the theme, Reorder the Ordinary – celebrating the people who are known to challenge society’s norms, lead unconventional lives and follow nonlinear career paths. Those not afraid to learn the rules, then break them. They imagine. They explore. They invent. They create. They inspire. But most importantly, they help make the ordinary seem extraordinary.
This is the first year TEDx is coming to UTSC and we are thrilled to incorporate a theme that speaks to the essence of TED talks. TED speakers come from all walks of life, but a key underlying theme is their ability to capture audiences worldwide by providing unique perspectives on fairly ordinary topics.
We are also launching our search for community-nominated speakers from the University of Toronto and Scarborough area composing of alumni, professors, student leaders and community activists. Our speaker nomination form is now live and the nomination process is open until October 1, 2012. This is your chance to help put local ideas on the global stage!
