About Tedxucr
Welcome to TEDxUCR, a project-based organization that is dedicated to connecting the University of California, Riverside (UCR) and the greater Riverside community with speakers from all over the world. Our primary focus is producing in-person and virtual TEDx talks that inspire, educate, and entertain our audience.
At TEDxUCR, we believe that ideas have the power to change lives. That's why we work tirelessly to bring together some of the most innovative thinkers and doers from around the globe. Our goal is to create a platform where these individuals can share their ideas with our community in an engaging and thought-provoking way.
Our organization operates under TEDx, which is a program of local events organized independently by volunteers who are passionate about spreading ideas worth sharing. We are proud to be part of this global movement that has inspired millions of people worldwide.
TEDxUCR comprises four committees: selection committee, marketing committee, logistics committee, and speaker coaching committee. Each team plays a crucial role in ensuring that our events run smoothly and deliver an exceptional experience for everyone involved.
The selection committee is responsible for identifying potential speakers who have unique perspectives on various topics such as science, technology, entertainment or design (TED). They carefully review each application received through our website or other channels before selecting those who meet our criteria for excellence.
Once selected by the selection committee members at TEDxUCR will receive support from our speaker coaching team. This group provides guidance on how best they can present their talk so it resonates with audiences while also helping them refine their message so it's clear what they want people take away from hearing them speak.
The marketing team works hard behind-the-scenes promoting upcoming events through social media platforms like Facebook or Twitter as well as traditional advertising methods such as flyers or posters around campus areas where students frequent most often like libraries or student centers
Finally comes logistics - this group ensures everything runs smoothly during event day. They are responsible for everything from setting up the stage to ensuring that all equipment is working correctly, and that everyone involved in the event has what they need to make it a success.
At TEDxUCR, we believe that our events have the power to inspire change and create a better world. We invite you to join us on this journey by attending one of our upcoming events or becoming a volunteer with us. Together, we can make a difference!
