About TEDx ALURwanda
TEDxALURwanda is an independently organized, University TEDx event at the renowned African Leadership University licensed by TED. Since its inception in 2019, it has grown to become a flagship event at our university and within Rwanda, celebrated for its dynamic and disruptive ideas. The inaugural event, themed “Dare to Disrupt,” set a powerful precedent, followed by the equally impactful 2023 event under the theme “What If…?” Each year, we feature an exceptional lineup ofr speakers from various industries and our community, making TEDxALURwanda a recognized platform for sharing innovative and transformative ideas that challenge the status quo and inspire change.
About TED
TED is a global community, welcoming people from every discipline and culture who seek a deeper understanding of the world. We believe passionately in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and, ultimately, the world. TED began in 1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment and Design converged, and today covers almost all topics from science to business to global issues, in more than 100 languages. Meanwhile, independently run TEDx events help share ideas in communities around the world
About TEDX
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organised events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TED Talks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection. These local, self-organised events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organised TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organised. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)
