Your talent could be seen by thousands!

Posted by | 2014, Conference | No Comments

Like the show X Factor, we are looking for individual or group acts to showcase their amazing talents in front of a live audience. The entire TEDx community will be able to see your talent. You will be performing in front of a crowd of UTSC staff, faculty, alumni, and definite big names in the community. Our speakers have not been announced yet, but you will be sharing the stage among some of the most innovative and amazing speakers that TEDx has to offer!

This is an AMAZING opportunity to get you or your band/act’s name out there!

We are looking for ANY TYPE of performer(s), as long as you can wow us, engage the crowd, and be sure to include our theme #ConvergingRealities in your routine somehow!

If you think you’ve got that little bit of x-factor in you, be sure to apply to become a performer at our conference, #ConvergingRealities! Get those applications in before Halloween, because they’re due October 30 at 11:59 pm! Apply now!

Our 2013 conference at a glance: A year of exploration and triumph

If you remember our conference last year, you may recall our trending topic #TEDxUTSC trending nationally in its very first year, on conference day in February 2013. That’s just one of the few accomplishments we are very proud of achieving in just our first year alone!

Priding ourselves on our three pillars of values – equity, social engagement, and academic cultivation, we were named the “Most Engaging Student Group” by the Principal of UTSC and the Vice Principal of Research. From psychologists to TV hosts, our diverse and talented array of speakers brought praise from faculty, students, and alumni from all three UofT campuses. Engaging a global audience through means of social networking and live streaming, we have broadened our geographical outreach and opened the doors to an international exchange of new insight.
