TEDxWarwick is a brand that organizes events focused on sharing innovative ideas and sparking meaningful discussions. It all began in 2008 when Kunal Amin, a final year student at the University of Warwick, approached TED about hosting an event at the university. This led to TEDxWarwick becoming one of the very first TEDx-like events in February 2009.

Since then, TEDxWarwick has grown in scale and depth, holding a main conference every spring. The events take place on the University of Warwick's campus, utilizing stunning venues like the internationally renowned Butterworth Hall and the brand new teaching-dedicated space called The Oculus. In addition to the main conference, TEDxWarwick also hosts smaller meetings called TEDx Salons throughout the year, as well as thought-provoking Alumni Salons and student salons.

The organizing team, led by two main coordinators, has expanded to over 50 students who contribute to the success of TEDxWarwick. They are divided into eight sub-teams dedicated to various aspects such as content, marketing, operations, and more. TEDxWarwick is a local, self-organized event under the guidance of TED, a nonprofit organization devoted to spreading ideas.

TEDx events combine TEDTalks videos and live speakers to foster deep discussions and connections within a small group. TEDxWarwick is just one of the many TEDx events happening worldwide, where x represents independently organized TED events. Through TED, innovative thinkers and doers from around the world, including figures like Bill Gates and Jane Goodall, share their world-changing ideas in short, powerful talks.

These talks are made freely available on TED. com, along with other TED initiatives like TED Conversations and the Open Translation Project. By hosting TEDxWarwick, the team aims to bring the TED experience to the local community and empower individuals to share their own cutting-edge insights and ideas worth spreading
