Bringing together 25 speakers, +500 attendees, dozens of community partners and hundreds of volunteers to celebrate thought leadership in Atlantic Canada

Challenge: Halifax boasts an impressive education sector with 6 post-secondary institutions hosting over 30,000 students. Yet, the broader community is often disconnected from the research activity as well as economic and cultural contributions of these communities.

Response: Established partnerships with TEDxHalifax and TEDxNovaScotia to host events at Dalhousie that celebrated the thought leadership offered within Halifax. The events involved talks from community members, professors, and students alike, with an eclectic audience of over 500 people in attending and thousands more watching online.
