TEDxBinghamtonUniversity is an SA-chartered event
TED (Technology, Entertainment, and Design) is a nonprofit devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form of short, powerful talks (ted.com). TEDx organizations are independent groups with TED licenses that create TEDx Talk events where speakers share their ideas worth spreading in their local community.
TEDxBinghamtonUniversity was established in 2010 and has since held 11 annual conferences, hosting 5-7 speakers each year. TEDxBinghamtonUniversity is organized by a team of undergraduate students and a faculty advisor, and they pride themselves in involving the Binghamton University community, from having both alumni and student speakers give talks, to having student volunteers and designers work on the event. In 2020, TEDxBinghamtonUniversity hosted its first-ever hybrid virtual and in-person conference, UNEARTHED, which operated amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Every year, TEDxBinghamtonUniversity conferences are centered around a main theme. So what is 2021’s theme? For Future Reference. Students will shape the future, and their ideas will be looked back on as markers of a time in which innovation and inspiration were essential. TEDxBinghamtonUniversity: For Future Reference will be the first TEDxBinghamtonUniversity lineup to feature multiple Binghamton University student speakers in addition to an alumni speaker.
