On April 3, 2010, TEDxBerkeley gathered world-leading thinkers, makers, and doers at UC Berkeley to discuss doing the unprecedented. The audience was composed of a diverse yet curated mix of 700 students, professors, and thought leaders from Berkeley and beyond for a stimulating day of presentations, discussions, entertainment and art that will spark new ideas and opportunities for all.

TEDxBerkeley is curated by UC Berkeley and the executive team from the Berkeley Computer Science Undergraduate Association (CSUA). Thanks to our sponsors, Dorsey & Whitney.

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 TEDxBerkeley, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxBerkeley 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.
