TEDxBradleyUniversity is designed to strengthen community connections in the Greater Peoria region in the context of a broader community-wide initiative called "Play in Peoria." Our theme is "Discovery and Value Creation," based on technology, artificial intelligence, innovation, sustainability, energy, and human thought and expression. Our speakers include a mix of experts from the Bradley University community, government leaders, and trail-blazing entrepreneurs, whose presentations will stimulate and engage through thought-provoking ideas and innovative discoveries that can transform human experience.
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, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. 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).
