TEDxBauchi is an independently organized TED event held in Bauchi, Bauchi State. It is one of its kind that will bring together some of the brightest thinkers and doers from around Nigeria and the rest of the world to gather, connect and establish collaboration to develop a blueprint on how to make great ideas have big impacts in areas of governance, business, education, health, economy entrepreneurship and innovation among others. TEDxBauchi would mark out the pathway to co-create and generate ideas. Ambition alone is not enough to bring about the kind of impact we want to see in our society. Together, we must convert ambition into practical ideas that would generate the right positive impacts in our society.

Just like other TEDx Talks, TEDxBauchi looks to inspire the community through the power of IDEAS WORTH SPREADING. We are not looking at only inspiring our immediate community, we are looking at inspiring the world by leveraging the over 36.7 million subscribers to the TEDx Talks YouTube Channel spread across all countries of the world.

Following the completion of other events namely (TEDxKofarFada and TEDxKangere) TEDxBauchi was conceived by a group of young people with a passion for making impacts in Bauchi State and beyond. Our desired outcome is that TEDxBauchi will be the birth of great ideas that would make significant impacts in people’s lives and society. Our event seeks to bring people of all ages, gender, tribes, religions, and political ideology to come together and co-create solutions through the generation of ideas that will improve our communities.

TEDxBauchi has come to stay and will be an annual event. The theme for the events would be based on factors influencing the community. For this edition, the theme adopted was CHANGING THE NARRATIVE, this was coined by the team because the first thing we have to do to improve the community is to tell our untold stories, unlearn and relearn new ideas and then adopt a fresh idea no matter how small with a view to making a great positive impact.
