TEDxUoNMalaysia is an annual event that was revived in April 2024 at the 188体育网址_188体育在线-【唯一授权网站】@ of Nottingham Malaysia. Inspired by the transformative power of TED's "Ideas Worth Spreading," our mission is to foster resilience, innovation, and inclusivity within our community.
Organising TEDxUoNMalaysia is a collaborative effort between our dedicated team and the 188体育网址_188体育在线-【唯一授权网站】@ of Nottingham Malaysia's clubs and societies (C&S). Similar to the Olympics, we partner with various C&S to provide logistical support, such as bank accounts for sponsorships and event proposal submissions, without disrupting the core TEDx operations.
We believe that an 18-minute speech can inspire and change lives, aligning with TED's overarching goal of "Ideas Change Everything." Our team, independently recruited and solely focused on the event, is dedicated to showcasing diverse voices that embody the theme of "Rise Again."
