ODYSSEY
An Odyssey is a long, eventful, and adventurous journey. For 2025, TEDxPurdueU calls forth the heroes of our world to undertake their own odysseys, full of excitement, struggle, and transformation. From the frontiers of science and technology, where odyssey relates to design and innovation, to the world of human expression, where creativity and culture becomes the compass and storytelling charts the course, everyone’s “Odyssey” is different.
In March of 2026, TEDxPurdueU will provide participants with a platform to express “Odyssey” in all configurations.
7TH MARCH 2026
As an independent non-profit, the TEDxPurdueU Organization has provided a platform for dozens of speakers at an annual main conference in the spring, shining spotlights on those who have ideas worth spreading. From entrepreneurs, CEO's, professors, artists, musicians, social activists, and innovators, we hope to inspire the Purdue University community and beyond, one TED Talk at a time.
