Parallax

Ideas evolve when our perspectives shift and realign. Parallax is more than motion—it’s discovery, a converging of viewpoints that reveals new possibilities.
At our 14th annual TEDxCMU conference, come join us for a night of speakers sharing their experiences and ideas. We will have 5 speakers this year, speaking on a range of topics from creating connection through coffee, to the untold stories in the media. Our board warmly welcomes you to our conference this year; we hope you can make it for a wonderful evening.

TEDxCMU 2023 Main Event
Ignite
Saturday February 24th, 1pm @ Cohon McConomy
Where does it all begin? With an idea, starting from a single origin. This idea is not static; it expands, fluctuates, and undergoes a mesmerizing transformation. It is the moment it ignites.
Every idea has the power to not only challenge the established but to illuminate new pathways of thought. By sharing these stories, you become the key to unlocking a cascade of ideas in others. TEDxIgnite is more than a conference; it's a place where answers for the uncharted future are forged in the present. Tomorrow is up to those who prepare for it today. Are you ready to light up the world?
WE WANT TO SHARE YOUR STORY
Long or short, happy or sad, or anything in-between—stories change how we think, and help us see the world in a different way. This is a platform for you.
Past speakers include Luis von Ahn, Michael Senatore, Jane Metcalfe, Amy Blankson, Jianli Yang, Po-Shen Loh, Subra Suresh, & more ➺
