Speakers

We are looking for charismatic, dramatic and thought-provoking presenters to give the talk of their lives. Speakers should be able to tell an interesting story, revealing something surprising and cutting-edge, give a performance the audience will remember forever, or share an idea that could change the world. TEDxBerkeley is bringing together professors, scientists, inventors, entrepreneurs, and even students to share their stories on making an impact on our world. As the conference nears, we will be announcing more of our speakers.
