TEDxWinnipeg is accepting speaker applications for its May 28, 2026 event being held on our Fort Garry campus, and we want Bisons at the centre of it all!

Toby Le, PhD candidate in medical microbiology at UM, speaks at the TEDxWinnipeg event in 2024.

Toby Le speaks at the TEDxWinnipeg event in 2024 as a PhD candidate in medical microbiology at UM.

TEDxWinnipeg is a platform to elevate individual stories and contribute to a global dialogue on meaningful issues. Alumni, faculty, staff and students, this is your chance to bring your ideas to the global audience and inspire collaboration.

The 2025 event was a big success and included talks from UM researchers and alumni, and a musical performance by Victoria Sparks, a renowned percussionist in the Desautels Faculty of Music. 

UM is excited to host this event again at the beautiful Desautels Concert Hall, and TEDxWinnipeg provides exceptional speaker training to prepare you for this stage.

Anyone with an idea worth spreading is encouraged to apply. Applications close December 12.
