TEDxPenn is a nonprofit organization founded in 2010 by students who sought to empower ideas within and around the Penn community. We hold a license at the University of Pennsylvania to host the largest student-run TEDx conference in the world, and today our TED Talks have amassed over 15 million views on YouTube with a wide range of speakers, from OpenAI executives to Penn professors to the creator of Apple Emojis. This coming spring, we plan to host our annual conference, where 1000+ attendees are invited to engage with TED Talks related to technology, entertainment, and design.

Question: Do members themselves give TED talks, or do they organize the TEDxPenn conference? - Anonymous
While members organize the conference, they do not give TED talks. There is a rigorous selection process to chose our speakers, who fly in from all over the world and draw on their extensive professional, academic, or life experiences to share a unique message. With 1000+ attendees, our annual conference requires significant planning. Whether you're interested in the Speaker & Content, Operations, Design, Marketing, or Finance team, you will play a crucial role in carrying out the largest student-run TEDx conference in the world!
