About

An independently organized TED event

About TEDx

TEDx events are local, self-organized gatherings that bring communities together to share ideas, operated under a free license from TED. Live talks and TED Talk screenings spark conversation and connection — and the x stands for an independently organized TED event.

About TEDxUI

TEDxUI brings that experience to the University of Ibadan on Saturday, November 21, 2026. The full story of this edition — theme, speakers, and program — will be announced in the months ahead.

The experience

Why attend

  • Live talks, big ideas

    TED-style talks from the stage — ideas worth spreading, argued in person.

  • The room

    Students, builders, faculty, and creators from across the University of Ibadan and beyond.

  • Performances & connection

    Between the talks: performances, conversation, and time to meet the people thinking alongside you.

  • Volunteers at the outdoor check-in table, laying out event programs.
  • Attendees chatting in a group outside the venue.
  • Two attendees meeting outdoors, a red balloon in the foreground.
  • The media crew filming outside the venue with a tripod-mounted camera.
