Sponsorships

TEDxPurdueU could not be such a successful event without the aid of our generous sponsors. We depend on our sponsorships to find talent, bring speakers to campus, prepare gift items, fund our Salons events and main day logistics, and more.

Last year, we had over 400 attendees eager to benefit from our speakers' ideas worth spreading. This year, we expect a greater number of speakers, a greater number of performances, and an even greater amount of listeners and learners in attendance.
