Everything’s Bigger in Texas. Including Our Ideas.

Over ten years, we’ve built out a series of events designed to speak directly with our audience. Our speakers have taught us how to think like a cheetah, see from the eyes of a gambler, and create from within.

our Reach

Over the past ten years, TEDxSMU has presented more than 30 events, auditions and salons and showcased more than 375 ideas from its stage. In addition to the several thousand audience members over the years, talks presented by TEDxSMU speakers have been viewed online more than eight million times by the global TED audience.
