Our History
Coming from humble beginnings with our first event at Aston University in 2013, we have since grown tremendously to a professional level with links throughout the Birmingham community and an increasing online presence with over 1.3 million views online. Driven by the vision of empowering future-focused change-makers to connect beyond their limits, TEDxAstonUniversity is now in its sixth iteration and we are looking to make this year’s conference bigger and better than it has ever been so far.
