Partnership
TEDx is an inspiring platform for communities to bring ideas worth spreading to the world stage. At TEDxURI, our mission is to honor these ideas, and share powerful stories of imagination, innovation, and integrity that will inspire others to Think Big.
Becoming a sponsor of TEDxURI is an integral part of making that mission possible. That’s why we’ve created this page to help you learn more about our events and why your contribution matters.
If you’re interested in becoming a sponsor, or to learn more about opportunities and how to get involved, please contact TEDxURI organizer Maling Ebrahimpour.
