Who Can Join?
TEDxUofM is open to all! We welcome students of any major and background. It takes an extensive knowledge base to pull of a TEDx conference, and the more diversity in thought and interest, the better.
You are welcome to join as many subteams as you would like. Subteams typically meet once a week in addition to our weekly general team meetings (Tuesdays 7-8pm in East Quad 1423).
Contact us at team@tedxuofm.com with any questions.
