What is TEDxLausanne
Since 2010, the TEDxLausanne community seeks to extend the TED experience at a regional level.
TEDxLausanne has hosted 18 events, given the opportunity to more than 100 amazing people to share their ideas through outstanding talks, thanks to the work of more than 200 volunteers and leading to hundreds of thousand views of our videos across the world.
Our mission
We are a team of passionate volunteers who are curious about everything and aim to promote ideas worth spreading in Lausanne and in Switzerland.
We celebrate human inventiveness, creativity, and resourcefulness while promoting a well-intended, positively oriented mindset.
By supporting TEDxLausanne, you contribute to create synergies between innovators, forward-thinkers, and agents of change in Lausanne and everywhere in the world, inspiring positive actions to change our lives for the better.
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 TEDxLausanne, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxLausanne event, TED Talks 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.
This independent TEDx event is operated under license from TED
