Not sure if you’ve bumped into me before in TEDx salon sessions but I am quite the enthusiast when it comes to deep evening conversations about politics, AI, climate change, arts and other topics from TEDx talks. 

My name is Batool and I’m a first-year in Arts and Sciences. I would like to be the Event Director to lead and organise the fortnightly TEDX salon sessions, our most regular society event in which we watch a TEDx talk and discuss it as a group afterwards. This year I was TEDx conference support at UCL which involved running around organising stage design and catering for the main conference. During my A Levels in school I also volunteered for the TEDX society and helped curate and organise the speakers for the annual TEDx conference in GC University in Pakistan. 

Aims for organisation of TedX salons and events: 

  • Snacks? I will find out if we have the budget for snacks since evening discussions require energy ?
  • More social events as a society !!
  • Selection of TEDx talks for the TEDx salon sessions aligned to current events - e.g. talks centred around natural disasters, refugee crisis and Ukraine conflict. 
  • Collaborations with other societies to expand the TEDx influence
