TEDx @UMass Boston

​UMass Boston is hosting its first-ever TEDx event — and you're invited to be part of it.

​TEDxUMassBoston brings together four bold thinkers, doers, and storytellers for an afternoon of ideas worth spreading. Each speaker will take the stage to share a talk that challenges how we see the world.

​This isn't a lecture. It's a live, intimate showcase of the next generation of voices shaping conversations on our campus and beyond. Expect to leave thinking differently about something you thought you understood.

​Whether you're a student, faculty member, alum, or guest from the broader Boston community — this is your seat at the table.
