The University of Southern Indiana is excited to host the inaugural TEDxUSI, an independently organized TEDx event, as part of the Core Speaker Series. This three-hour event will feature engaging talks in Carter Hall with interactive Discover USI sessions in the University Center. Attendees can enjoy light refreshments before the event, followed by an hour of thought-provoking talks, a break for hands-on activities and another hour of inspiring presentations.
The University is currently seeking dynamic speakers with powerful ideas for TEDxUSI. Members of the USI community and beyond are invited to submit proposals for talks that embody the spirit of “ideas worth spreading.”
While TEDxUSI may include speakers from outside the USI community, the focus will be on showcasing the innovative ideas and achievements of USI faculty, staff, students, alumni and community partners. This event provides a platform for thought leaders, innovators and storytellers to share perspectives that challenge, inform and inspire. Talks will be recorded and published on the official TEDx YouTube channel, extending their impact to a global audience. Registration and event details will be available soon on the USI website.
To submit a speaker proposal for TEDxUSI, navigate to the TEDx Speaker Proposal form at USI.edu/tedxusi. The deadline to submit proposals is Friday, February 14. While all submissions will be reviewed, the organizing team is unable to respond to each proposal.

A TEDx event is a local gathering where live TED-like talks and performances are shared with the community. TEDx events are fully planned and coordinated independently, on a community-by-community basis. USI was previously the host site for TEDx Evansville in 2017, and several faculty and alums were featured speakers at that event.
