TEDxECUAD is an independently organized student-run TED event co-branded with Emily Carr University of Art + Design.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx events bring people together to share a TED-like experience, combining TED Talks video and live speakers to spark deep discussion and connection. TEDxECUAD will feature 12 short talks by speakers from a range of fields including physics, music, linguistics, technology, politics, design, wine, indigenous plants, and more. Themed "Bridging the Gap," this inaugural event will mark our transition to 'the new ECUAD' at the new Great Northern Way campus. Our mission is to bring together a dynamic group of thinkers and doers in a provocative setting that builds new connections leading to progress and collaboration. We strive to integrate Emily Carr University of Art + Design's core values of constant evolution, advancement in unique fields, and interdisciplinary experimentation while involving the ECUAD and local communities.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TED Talks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)

About TED

TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. Started as a four-day conference in California 30 years ago, TED has grown to support its mission with multiple initiatives. The two annual TED Conferences invite the world's leading thinkers and doers to speak for 18 minutes or less. 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, Sal Khan and Daniel Kahneman.

The annual TED Conference takes place each spring in Vancouver, British Columbia. TED's media initiatives include TED.com, where new TED Talks are posted daily; the Open Translation Project, which provides subtitles and interactive transcripts as well as translations from volunteers worldwide; the educational initiative TED-Ed. TED has established the annual TED Prize, where exceptional individuals with a wish to change the world get help translating their wishes into action; TEDx, which supports individuals or groups in hosting local, self- organized TED-style events around the world, and the TED Fellows program, helping world-changing innovators from around the globe to amplify the impact of their remarkable projects and activities.
