Our Mission is to spread ideas, build community, and change lives across the GTHA, and the world.
Ideas are incredibly special things. They begin in the mind of an individual, spreading from person to person and enabling changes, both big and small.Ideas keep us moving forward, charting new territory and becoming the best version of ourselves. TEDxToronto is a platform for a community of curious souls to encounter new ideas that have the potential to change lives and move our city, country and the world forward.Our mission has always focused on giving a spotlight to ideas that need help to spread. Ideas whose time has come.
We aim to create a legacy of growth and change. Personal and collective growth in our community — and action that flows from this growth. And we are part of TED’s global community, welcoming people from every discipline and culture who seek a deeper understanding of the world, and want to learn and grow together.
TEDxToronto is made up of a diverse, multi-disciplinary team of 60+ volunteers who work behind the scenes to bring our community to life each year. It may be hard to imagine that a community and events of this scale are brought to life by volunteers devoting their evenings and weekends to it all. We do it because we believe in the importance of spreading ideas and building community within the GTHA, and around the world.
