Event Details

TEDxUofA will be General Admission. Therefore, there will not be assigned seats. Doors will open at 1:30 p.m. and Act 1 will begin at 2:00 p.m.

If you are late, you will be seated at the discretion of the House Manager. Sometimes this means you will have to wait for a break in the talks to be seated. You will be seated in the first available seat. As a courtesy to other guests, speakers, and performers, we ask that you arrive at least 15 minutes prior to the beginning of the show.
