Celebrating 10 years of TEDxUQ
TEDxUQ turns 10 this year. Established by a third-year UQ student in 2013, the event has evolved from a 100-person affair to selling out 500 tickets in recent years. To celebrate this milestone, Contact Magazine caught up with some of the UQ community members who have been part of TEDxUQ over the years.

WHAT IS TEDx?
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxUQ, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxUQ event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
Ideas Worth Spreading
Celebrating our thirteenth-year anniversary in 2026, TEDxUQ continues the commitment to curate a TED-like experience for the UQ and wider Brisbane communities. Join us on our journey as we continue to celebrate innovative ideas and inspire change.This is not a University-organised event. The event, the speakers and the content presented at this event should not be considered a reflection of the University’s views.
