Attending TEDx Edmonton

At this time, TEDx Edmonton is an invitation-only event. While we would love to open the event up to as many people as possible, we are limited by our license from TED to host an intimate gathering. Like other TED events, TEDx Edmonton aims to inspire productive discussion among a small group of passionate and creative doers and thinkers from across the city. The application process is now closed.
