TEDxUofM 2025: Rooted

Join us on April 3rd for a captivating evening at TEDxUofM 2025: Rooted, hosted at the Power Center for the Performing Arts, featuring TED Talks, performances, and hands-on activities! All six speakers are UofM alumni, faculty, or students, and will be sharing unique insights inspired by the powerful influence of our roots. See who they are and what they’ll be discussing in the flyers below.

The phrase “return to your roots” is often used to mean stepping back into your past: returning to the places, people, and identities that shaped who you are now. For plants, roots act as their very foundation, giving them structural support and nutrients from the ground where they were raised. Our 2025 conference theme, Rooted, is a wider exploration of this concept that challenges how applicable the original analogy is to humans.

Note: doors open at 5:30 PM, show starts at 6:00.
