TEDxFSU invites you to get "Rooted in Reality" at our 2023 Conference.

The conference, which will take place at the Fallon Theatre on Tuesday, April 4 at 5:30 p.m., will feature six talks and three performances by current and former students and faculty, showcasing the breadth and depth of expertise in the Florida State University community.

At TEDxFSU, speakers and performers combine to spark deep discussion and connection. The student-led conference is licensed by TED, which provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.

At "Rooted in Reality," the talks and performances lined up for the conference, while grounded in our shared campus community and experiences, will also allow us to grow into the possibilities of so many ideas worth sharing. Following the conference, speakers, organizers and guests will have the opportunity to further explore and connect around shared ideas during an open-air reception in the theatre's courtyard.

Speakers include Abril Hunter, Sarah Litchford, Eric Hsiao, Tiffany Lanier, Ritesh Gupta, and "The Design Trio," a team of current and former students featuring Hannah Smith, Sarah Rifqi and Alana Houston. Learn more about our speakers on the TEDxFSU Conference page.

Performances will feature a range of musical styles from Chef Will & Tonight's Special, Grupo Classico, and Zoƫ Ashberg and Makayla and Keeley Sawyer.

TEDxFSU is always free and open to the public, but capacity is limited, so advance registration is encouraged to guarantee your spot. Registration is open through Friday, March 31 at tedx.fsu.edu. If space permits, walk-up registration will be open on site prior to the conference. Check-in will begin at 4:30 p.m. in the theatre lobby, with doors opening at 5 p.m.
