TEDx University of Northern Iowa

TEDxUniversity of Northern Iowa is coming to Cedar Falls—and you’re invited to be part of a day that could change how you see the world. A TEDx event is a locally organized, independently run version of the world-renowned TED conference. It brings together bold thinkers, powerful storytellers, and curious minds for a high-energy experience of “ideas worth spreading.” This year’s theme, Creating Tomorrow, explores how innovation, vision, and collaboration can shape a brighter future—starting now. 

You’ll hear from inspiring speakers like Mitch Matthews, motivational speaker and success coach; Dr. Angela Franklin, president of Des Moines University; Cedar Falls Mayor Quentin Hart; and musical sensation The B2Wins—Brazilian twin brothers known for their electric performances and uplifting message. From dynamic talks to meaningful connections, TEDxUniversity of Northern Iowa offers a chance to engage with ideas that matter and people who care. It’s not a conference—it’s a catalyst. Join us in Cedar Falls, Iowa, for a one-of-a-kind event that will leave you energized, inspired, and ready to create tomorrow.
