OVERVIEW

As the breakneck speed of AI advancements continuously convolutes and confuses what is fact and what is fiction regarding this decade’s buzzword technology, TEDxUWMadison seeks to close the gap in understanding for the Madison community.

The club, staging its first talk in over a year, will host several speakers to discuss the theme of technology in the business world. 14 C-Suit executives will deliver short speeches at the all-day event to be held in April, after which they will be available for networking opportunities with the guests in attendance. A full list of the confirmed speakers can be found below.

A limited number of tickets to the event, which grant access to the speeches, individual mingling time, and refreshments, will be made available in March. Follow TEDxUWMadison on Instagram for more details.

This will be a rare opportunity to hear from and speak with well-known players in a range of fields. TEDxUWMadison hopes that you will join us in welcoming these CEOs, founders, and visionaries to the isthmus!
