Theme: A Reality of Infinite Possibilities

THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED.
Venue and Date are to be decided.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized (subject to certain rules and regulations).

With TEDx Lake Hills Youth, we aim to provide a platform where youth can passionately call for change, and inspire others to imagine a limitless future. Each of our speakers have a centralized idea in their talk that they believe is worth spreading to the community, and we are thrilled to give them this opportunity. To support these brilliant youth, be inspired, and experience a TEDx talk, attend TEDx Lake Hills Youth!
