In 1984, the TED organization was founded, aiming to shine a light in people's minds in order to discover and share different ideas around the world. In pursuit of this goal, TED offers people around the world the opportunity to come together through inspiring talks and interactive events on a variety of topics. Many local organizations and clubs have emerged around the world to support this purpose of TED.
In this context, the TEDx platform is designed to bring TED's mission to local communities and bring individuals together to explore different perspectives. TEDx events are local conferences organized by independent organizers and guided by TED. At these events, speakers inspire attendees by sharing experiences, ideas and visions in their fields.
Bilkent University TEDx Club (TEDxBilkentU) aims to increase the impact of this important organization at the national and international level. Thanks to the license granted by TED, club members aim to bring together the university and surrounding communities by hosting speakers from various disciplines. Thus, it aims to strengthen TED's mission at the local level and contribute to social change by creating interactive platforms where different styles of thought come together.
