TEDxWesternU

What is TEDx?

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxWesternU, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxWesternU event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.

TEDxWesternU 2024 : Rising Phoenix

In ancient Greek and Egyptian mythology, the phoenix symbolized renewal and rebirth. Legend depicts that each phoenix lived for 500 years, and only one lived at a time. In the final moments of a phoenix's life, it would build a nest and set itself on fire. As the flames died, a new, young phoenix emerged from the ashes to live another lifecycle.

Similarly to the phoenix, when we face the fires of catastrophes, our resilience and determination to succeed define us more than what has happened to us. Amid hardship, we are presented with opportunities to rise and reflect on our darkest hours, to find our greatest strengths, amplify our capacity, evolve, and excel. Our TEDxWesternU conference took place on February 2nd, 2024, and featured twelve speakers who explored the indomitable human capacity to rise from the ashes of adversity.
