  • About this series

  • TEDxCUNY was formed in July 2013 out of the strong belief that a public academic institution as large and as diverse as the City University of New York not only deserved, but needed a platform for spreading ideas and discussion. TEDxCUNY received its license on July 26th, 2014 and has since become an annual CUNY event gathering students, faculty, staff, affiliates, and the broader public for a day of idea-sharing. Today, TEDxCUNY is the Largest TEDx University Conference By Representation in the World, representing nearly 500,000 students across 25 institutions.
