About Us
In 2023, Bard College hosted its first ever independent, student-organized TEDx conference with a commitment to the core philosophy of TED: to share “ideas worth spreading.” The conference contained 12 talks from students, faculty, and members of the wider Bard College community.
With an eye on continuing our mission of Shaping the Future, TEDx Bard College will return in 2025. More details on our next conference are coming soon.
About TEDx
Our Speakers
Giving a TEDx talk was like nothing I’ve ever done before. The preparation kicked my butt—getting the message right, editing the talk (and then editing it some more), memorizing it, delivering it without falling all over myself. But it was all so worth it. It’s a great opportunity to get an important message out there, and you will stretch yourself in ways that will make you feel proud of what you accomplished.
– Michael Sadowski, Associate Dean of the College
