In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our events are called TEDxLaSierraUniversity, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxLaSierraUniversity event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.

Since 2014, TEDxLaSierraUniversity has hosted five TEDx events. La Sierra University's Tom and Vi Zapara School of Business is the host site of these events, but speaker selection, event themes, and other decisions and operations are conducted independently of La Sierra University administrators or other agents. Watch this space for future announcements on possible upcoming events, calls for speakers, and opportunities to join our all-volunteer organizing team. 

It has been more than ten years since we began our TEDxLaSierraUniversity journey together with our first event “The Possible” in 2014. Since then our speakers and attendees have continued to share ideas, and to strive together to positively transform our local and global community.

Our events continue to build on themes of imagining, designing, and proving the possible. Check out our past events and speakers that have engaged our live audience and now global viewers across our event themes of The Possible, It Starts With One, The Other Things, The Great Undone, and Through it All.
