#Reviews
TEDxQUT is always an amazing event. The day runs smoothly, the speakers topics varied, interesting and well curated. I feel privileged to hear the stories of each and every speaker and learn from their experiences.
I really enjoy the TEDxQUT event, it’s great to hear directly from QUT staff and students, and I feel the event continues to be very well organised.
We had the BEST day! It was so inspiring to see people bravely step out and tell their stories! They were well prepared, entertaining and all with a great message to share. TEDxQUT is becoming my favourite yearly event.
About
TEDXQUT
TEDxQUT is an independently organized event created in the spirit of TED’s mission, “ideas worth spreading.”. The TEDxQUT program offers an annual event with live speakers sharing unique ideas in the form of short, powerful talks. In 2022, TEDxQUT introduced the inaugural TEDxQUTSalon Series. Salons are small events that keep the TEDxQUT community engaged and focus on attendees as active participants of the events. At QUT, a place of learning and teaching, we know our students and academics are challenging existing ways of thinking and creating new ones every day. We aim to create spaces for the propagation of these great ideas, for storytelling, creativity and innovation. This opportunity to share and engage inspires our community to take part in transformative conversations and be part of solutions to make a positive change in our world
