Many universities have brought the TEDx program to their students, inspiring them on their learning and personal development journey.
TEDx is an independently organized event with a similar ethos to TED – a program representing boundless knowledge and inspiration for young individuals on their quest for learning, exploring the world around them, fostering dialogue, and connecting communities.
Moreover, almost all TEDx speakers are outstanding figures in their respective fields, or individuals with significant influence and impact on culture and society.
TEDxFPTUniversityHCMC 2024 has just taken place at FPT University Ho Chi Minh City campus with the theme “Big Things Start Small”
Recently, TEDxFPTUniversityHCMC 2024 was held at FPT University Ho Chi Minh City campus under the theme “Big Things Start Small,” featuring an impressive lineup of speakers including: Mr. Hiếu PC (cybersecurity expert), Ms. Thạch Trang (content creator), Mr. Dương Minh Long (photographer), Ms. Hoàng Oanh (MC, actress), and Ms. Teresa X. Nguyen (Professor).
Drawing inspiration from the famous quote by Joe M. Easterling: “All big things have small beginnings,” the theme “Start Small” signifies breaking down big goals into manageable tasks to maintain motivation and continue our journey towards achieving our goals.
TEDxFPTUniversityHCMC 2024 was organized by the Skilltecera Club, initiated by a former student of FPT University, Mr. Trần Nguyễn Phước.
