For over a decade, the University of Sydney and TEDxSydney have partnered to bring talented and visionary thinkers together to change attitudes, lives and the world for good.

In 2024, the University of Sydney will partner with TEDxSydney to present three flagship events: two intimate salon-style events focusing on the themes of Net Zero and AI; and TEDxSydney Youth, bringing together the leaders and visionaries of the future in the heart of Western Sydney, Parramatta.

TEDxSydney Youth will take place on August 29, with the theme CTRL > SHIFT - an exploration of what our future will look like when we hand over control to the next generation of leaders, change makers and visionaries.

Net Positive: Visions of a Net Zero Future for Australia

There is no greater challenge than addressing climate change and the need for an urgent transition to net zero emissions. The theme of this year's first TEDxSydney event was 'Net Positive', delving into sustainability and environmental responsibility, and inspiring and empowering our community to take actionable steps towards a sustainable future.

Ranking 7th globally and 1st in Australia in the 2024 QS Sustainability Rankings, the University is committed to accelerating the pace of positive environmental and social change through world-class research.
