At the heart of every TEDx event is the power of a great idea — and the people who help bring those ideas to the stage.
Our TEDxAlbury Speaker Selection Panel is made up of curious, thoughtful and passionate individuals from across the Albury-Wodonga community.
Together, they bring a diverse range of perspectives, professional backgrounds and lived experiences to the table.
Their role is to carefully review speaker applications, identify compelling stories and fresh thinking, and help shape a program that reflects our theme: Awaken. Adapt. Evolve.
We’re proud to have this incredible group guiding the journey toward the red dot.
