On behalf of the entire team, we would like to thank you for joining us today at our special tenth anniversary event. This year’s theme is: Small Ripples, Big Waves. The theme highlights that even when something seems small, it can have a resounding impact long into the future. Take TEDxUQ, for example… In 2013, we welcomed 6 speakers, who presented to an audience of 100 people. Today, we’ll be packing out the GHD Auditorium with you and 499 other attendees, and you’ll get to hear from 12 incredible speakers. Seize every opportunity today – you never know where a small idea or conversation will take you.
