For 8 years, the TEDxTerry Talks has been a venue for UBC’s most fascinating students to share their ideas and visions with UBC and the world. Using a format similar to the TED conference, the TEDx Terry Talks draws students, alumni, faculty, and staff for a day of idea sharing.
Held in the Life Sciences Institute on the UBC Point Grey Campus, the TEDx Terry Talks provide eight student speakers from a wide range of interests and backgrounds with the opportunity to address an audience of over 400. Each talk is professionally recorded and archived on the TEDx YouTube Channel and Terry Project website for online presentation.
In addition to the talks, networking opportunities are made available throughout the conference, and community leaders, clubs and non-profits are invited to provide booths and presentations during intermissions. This provides audience members with the opportunity to engage with local organizations and student-led initiatives. Be prepared to be swept off your feet by the passion of the UBC community.

History
On November 22nd, 2008, the Terry project rolled out its first “Terry Talks” conference. Under the guidance of the UBC student community and via feedback with the fine folks at TED, the aim was to present a student conference where our very own students had the platform to express their own passions – be they related to their roles as academic participants or as advocates for social change. The day occurred in the beautiful Life Sciences Institute with an audience that peaked at around 300. Here, those audience members were on hand to hear out 6 undergraduate, 2 graduate, and 1 “Young Alumni” present their stories, as well as listen to three great TED videos.
In 2009, Terry talks morphed into TEDxTerry Talks. TEDxTerry Talks continued to be the UBC student conference where our very own students had the platform to express their own passions – be they related to their roles as academic participants or as advocates for social change.

Dear TEDxTerryTalks Organizing Committee,
My name is Ronnie Monillas and I’m a 3rd year Science student in UBC. I am writing to you to express my interest in volunteering on the day of TEDxTerryTalks. I understand how stressful it can be to plan such a big event, as I myself was part of the organizing committee for TEDxRenfrewCollingwood, which occurred just yesterday. It was such an amazing experience for me and I’ve decided to take it a step further and volunteer at any and every TEDx event in the Lower Mainland. My role with TEDxRCW was to help out with Volunteer Management and supervised volunteers for the Audience Engagement activities. I feel that my past experience has familiarized me with how busy it can be on the day of the event and what types of concerns attendees might have regarding the event.
Thank you for your consideration, and I look forward to hearing back from you!
Cheers,
Ronald Monillas

[…] In early November I was given the special opportunity to give a TEDx talk at UBC as part of the Terry Project. The process of rehearsing and delivering this talk allowed me to connect with others, to truly examine the current and future state of Food Literacy, and most of all, to overcome my nervousness of speaking in front of an audience. The video has not yet been uploaded, but sometime in the New Year you will be able to find it here. […]
