Returns on Wednesday 6 September 2017 to Sydney Town Hall


TEDxYouth@Sydney returned to Sydney Opera House on May 25th 2016. Made by young people, for young people, but with the eyes and ears of the world in mind, TEDxYouth@Sydney is a platform for ideas worth spreading designed for young change makers, thinkers, innovators, activists, entrepreneurs, and go-getters between the ages of 16 and 26.

TEDxYouth@Sydney provides a dynamic platform for young people to meet and make a positive impact and difference in our community. It takes place simultaneously with the main TEDxSydney event, with crossovers to speakers and activities throughout the day.

For TEDxYouth@Sydney 2016, we aimed to reach and engage more young people than ever before. To this end, TEDxYouth@Sydney moved to a bigger venue – the beautiful Joan Sutherland Theatre at the Sydney Opera House.

You can follow the TEDxYouth@Sydney story on its own unique social media channels – find us on Facebook and Instagram.
