Dhaka University hosts its first-ever TEDx event
The University of Dhaka — long the beating heart of Bangladesh's intellectual and cultural life — is about to erupt onto the world stage. On Saturday, October 25, 2025, the iconic TSC Auditorium will transform into the launchpad for a seismic event in the nation's academic and creative landscape: the inaugural TEDxUniversityofDhaka.
Under the audacious theme "Bangladesh Reborn: Progress Through Perspectives," this first-ever TEDx at Dhaka University promises to be nothing short of a revolution. Across six dynamic sessions, 13 trailblazing speakers will deliver ideas designed to provoke, inspire, and redefine what Bangladesh's future can be.
This isn't a polite exchange of thoughts — it's an intellectual ignition, a rebellion against complacency. Speakers will dive headfirst into science, governance, technology, social movements, and art, challenging outdated norms and presenting bold blueprints for the Bangladesh of tomorrow.
"This is where the comfortable narratives die," reads the manifesto from the organising team. "TEDxUniversityofDhaka is not about modest ambition — it's about shaking the foundations of how we think, create, and lead."
For a century, the University of Dhaka has been the nation's moral and intellectual compass. Now, it is stepping into the global arena of 'ideas worth spreading', asserting that its thinkers and dreamers are ready to contribute to world-changing discourse.
Attendees at this historic event will not only witness the beginning of a new tradition but will join a living movement — one that connects the country's sharpest minds, most fearless innovators, and next-generation changemakers.
Seats are limited, and anticipation is electrifying. To be part of this epoch-making first, follow TEDxUniversityofDhaka's official channels for speaker announcements, ticket details, and updates.
This is not just an event — it's history in motion. The countdown has begun.
