The University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC) is getting ready to host a TEDx speaker series event later this year.
The independently organized TED event will be held for the first time in northern B.C. TED is a nonprofit devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form of short (18 minutes or less) talks.
The open call for speakers has concluded with TEDx UNBC receiving a total of 111 applications, of which five to 10 will be chosen.
