TEDxOxford is a live conference featuring 12 high-profile speakers from across the globe, from artists and entrepreneurs to leading academics and activists. The theme this year is “What If?”, and speakers will spotlight ideas and stories that explore the boundaries of what is possible.

Our speakers are leaders in their respective fields, and will share their unique perspectives on issues both topical and timeless. By providing a platform for sharing ideas worth spreading, we are excited to ignite curiosity, inspire action, and spark conversations that resonates far beyond our conference. Some of this year’s speakers include:

– David Mott: co-founder of Oxford Capital and elite modern pentathlon coach, with a passion for exploring the intersections between entrepreneurship and sport.
– Freshta Karim: founder of Charmaghz, a Kabul-based NGO dedicated to promoting children’s education in Afghanistan, which has reached over 500,000 children since 2017.
– Professor Charlotte Deane MBE: leader of Oxford Protein Informatics Group, working to solve diverse problems in fields such as drug discovery, using cutting-edge statistics, AI, and computation.

TED believe that every ‘what if’ has the power to shape our world, and that behind every dream is a dreamer with a story to tell. TEDxOxford will inspire us to embrace curiosity and explore the possibilities that lie just beyond the horizon.

The conference will take place on Sunday, 2nd February 2025, in the Sheldonian Theatre, from 10am to 4pm, with doors opening at 9:30am. While there will be a break for lunch during the day,  lunch will not be provided to attendees.
