Imagine UBC’s most fascinating and engaging students coming together for a day, giving ‘the talk of their lives,’ sharing their ideas and discussing their visions for UBC and the world.

The UBC Terry Project is pleased to again present our student conference, one that focuses on the inspired efforts of the very folks you share classes with. The 2014 “TEDxTerryTalks” will be held on October 25th, 2014. Here, students will be given a high profile platform to communicate their passions and desires to an audience of their UBC peers. It essentially borrows a template from a well-established conference known as the TED conference, and modifies it for delivery within the UBC setting.
The general intent is to bring together the University’s most fascinating student thinkers and doers, who are challenged to give the talk of their lives. Under this context, the conference accommodates 8 selected student speakers from a wide range of interests and backgrounds. The talks will be held at the Life Sciences Institute,where one can engage as many as 350 audience members. The talks will also be video archived for online presentation.
As well, work is currently under way to also allow for booths and mingling opportunities outside of the actual speaking engagements. These opportunities will be held in an adjacent space - the East Atrium of the Life Science Institute. And note that Dave Ng and Han Solo (and a special surprise guest) will be back MCing the event.

The Terry Project is a cross-faculty program designed to educate undergraduate students on pressing global issues like climate change, poverty, conflict and disease. Recognizing that these problems demand a rich multi-dimensional understanding, our chief aim is to create forums that promote interdisciplinary dialogue between students of the humanities and students of the life sciences.
By hosting a prominent speakers series, organizing a TEDx student conference, offering an interdisciplinary academic course, and fostering a vibrant online community, we inspire students across disciplines to come together to discuss issues of global import.
