About the Event
TEDxAsia Pacific U, an independently organised Tedx event, is back for its second edition on 1 August, exploring the theme 'Room to Breathe'. This focused gathering is built around ideas that deserve space, attention and honest conversation.
The event will bring together bold thinkers, creators, researchers and changemakers from across the region to share challenging perspectives and open new ways of seeing. Each short and sharp talk is grounded in lived experience and is designed to be practical, provocative and relevant beyond the stage.
Building on the success of the inaugural event, this year's edition will expand the conversation, encourage wider participation, and promote deeper reflection across disciplines.
This is not about passive listening or abstract theory. It's about equipping you with ideas to take back to your work, community, and everyday decisions- and ensuring you leave with better questions than when you arrived.
This is where curiosity meets responsibility.
