In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDxEdmonton Education is a new event that will bring together leaders across education, technology entrepreneurs, artists and creators to challenge the way we think about learning.

Combining TEDTalks videos, live speakers, and conversations, it'll be an education event like no other in our city and province. How do we educate our children, our students, our employees, and ourselves to live and succeed in an evolving world? How do we disrupt the status quo and replace traditional approaches to learning? How do we leave the politics of education behind to focus on impact and innovation?

Special thanks to our event partners at the Faculty of Education at the University of Alberta.
