Get Involved


Run entirely by a team of passionate volunteers, including both undergraduate and postgraduate students, TEDxUQ is an annual independently organised TEDx event showcasing exceptional speakers from the UQ and wider Brisbane communities. Volunteering with TEDxUQ is a great opportunity to meet incredible people and contribute to a renowned event in the UQ community.

As a Core Crew, you’ll have the opportunity to dive deep into the TEDx experience with a long-term commitment and shape the event from start to finish.

Alternatively, if you prefer a shorter commitment, become an Event Day Volunteer and contribute your skills on the day of the event. Join us on this incredible journey to harness the power of ideas and create transformative experiences.

Core Crew

The TEDxUQ Core Crew consists of the following teams: Curation, Marketing & Communications, Operations, Partnerships & Finance, Graphic Design, Website Development, Production, as well as a Performance Curator, Secretary, an MC, and Volunteer Coordinators.
