The student organizers of the 2019 TEDx Syracuse University conference are excited to unveil the overarching theme for this year’s event. The theme is SHIFT.

According to Co-Lead Organizer and Executive Producer Christopher Sekerak, “our team selected ‘SHIFT’ as the theme to represent a journey. That is the journey one undertakes to develop new knowledge from the ideas which our speakers will convey through their talks.” 

This year, eight speakers will discuss a wide range of topics at the event. More information about the speaker lineup will be rolled out over the next few weeks. From education to augmented reality to radical generosity, TEDx speakers will address an assortment of interesting topics.

The 2019 conference is slated to take place on April 6 at the Slocum Auditorium on the Syracuse University campus. Tickets for the conference will go on sale for students, staff and faculty on Wednesday, February 27 and to the general public on Friday, March 1. They are $7 for SU students, staff and faculty and $14 for the general public and can be purchased at the box office in the Schine Student Center.

All information will be posted on the TEDx Syracuse University website and the conference’s Facebook, Instagram and Twitter pages in the next few weeks. The event will also be livestreamed through the TEDx Syracuse University website.
