About TED

TED as a global community welcomes people from different cultures and walks of life, those are dedicated to understanding the world on a deeper level.
The TEDx initiative was curated in the spirit of TED’s mission, ”ideas worth spreading”.
TEDx is committed to supporting independent organizers who want to create a TED-like event in their locality, and create impact.
In a world where the visible often overshadows the unseen, TEDxDugbe aspires to uncover the hidden layers of our collective experience. With the theme “Out of the Shadows,” TEDxDugbe 2024 seeks to interrogate the obscure corners of human experience, bringing to limelight the extraordinary that lies beneath the surface. This theme encourages a deep dive into the narratives and innovations that, though often unseen, have a profound impact on our lives and our future.
“Out of the Shadows” is a call to action, urging us to recognize the unseen, to listen to the unheard, and to bring to light the hidden forces that shape our world. At this festival of ideas, Ibadan’s boldest changemakers, thought leaders, culture shapers, creative geniuses, and brightest thinkers will step out of their shadows to converge, connect and consider new directions stemming from a richer appreciation for the beauty and intricate complexity of our world.
