From Lagos to the World: The Inspiring Story of TEDxLagos
Imagine a stage in Lagos, Nigeria, not just showcasing ideas, but igniting a global conversation. That's the magic of TEDxLagos. We're more than a conference; we're a movement amplifying Africa's most remarkable voices.
Born in 2015 we started our journey into the incredible world of ideas first as TEDxGbagda and later in 2018, transitioned into TEDxLagos, we were inspired by TED's mission of discovering and spreading ideas that spark conversation, deepen understanding and drive meaningful change. With our roots firmly planted in African soil., we are committed to bringing together Nigeria’s best scientists, entrepreneurs, professionals, innovators and reformers to share ideas that would spark deep discussions and birth new ideas that will change our society. We have become one of the top TEDx events globally, recognized for exceptional commitment to community, inspiration, and the true spirit of TED.
But we're not just about accolades. We're a non-profit, volunteer-powered force. Our team and volunteer network tirelessly search for the most inspiring, innovative ideas that transcend limitations. We believe in pushing boundaries to create the world we all envision.
Here's the power of TEDxLagos:
- Amplifying African voices: We showcase the continent's brilliance on a global stage, inspiring the world.
- Building a powerful community: We connect thought leaders, innovators, and passionate individuals, fostering a network for positive change.
- Igniting a conversation: We spark dialogue about critical issues and innovative solutions, shaping a better future for all.
We're a testament to the transformative power of ideas. Join us on this journey as we continue to inspire, connect, and empower changemakers across Africa and the globe.
