TEDxOshkosh - Since 2016
We believe in the power of a great thought, the resonation of an idea and the discussions they prompt. A great thought is what led us to create TEDxOshkosh.
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 TEDxOshkosh, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxOshkosh 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.

Register to Attend TEDxOshkosh Year 10 on Oct. 31
The tenth year is going to be a very special one, and you don't want to miss the celebration and fourteen more amazing speakers and thought-provoking talks.
You may have heard that The Grand Oshkosh, our home since we started in 2016 will be closed for construction work this fall, and has moved to the performing arts theatre on the UW-Oshkosh campus. We'll be going right along with them, and look forward to seeing you in those seats. As usual, it'll be a fast-paced day from 8am - 3:30pm, with conversation breaks in the morning and afternoon, and as always, a hot, catered lunch: this year a short walk away at the Reeve Union ballroom.
And... worry not about your Halloween schedule! We'll have you free by 3:30 for all the trick-or-treat activities.
Register now! Don't miss this milestone year.
