TEDx events feature live presentations from speakers along with videos of speakers from previous TED Talks events. TEDx events are led by local volunteers working under an agreement with TED, a media organization that hosts global conferences with the slogan 鈥渋deas worth spreading.鈥�

The idea of hosting a TEDx event at Bellarmine was first discussed in 2015, when a student shared his favorite TED Talk video with Apostel. A group of students later formed a working group to explore the idea, and recently announced a goal of bringing TEDx to campus on March 1, 2019.

鈥淲hat started out as a tangent during my office hour has become a goal that many Bellarmine students want to accomplish,鈥� said Apostel.

The proposed Bellarmine TEDx event鈥檚 theme is 鈥淲ho are we? Past, present, future.鈥� 

The group has where people can learn more, get involved and submit proposals to speak.
