As a way to spread ideas and spark conversation, Bryant University will be hosting its sixth annual TEDxBryantU event Saturday, February 25th, from 2:00-5:00 PM. TEDxBryantU will bring together faculty, staff, students, alumni, and guests to discuss a variety of perspectives on this year’s theme: Reboot & Refresh. A panel of eight diverse speakers will offer fresh perspectives on what “Reboot and Refresh” means to them pertaining to their personal life, professional life, or a time of adversity in their life that has made them into the accomplished individual they are today.
Reboot and Refresh is a period in time where we as individuals need to reflect on how we are going to adjust to the innovative, reinventive, and encouraging environment that is today’s society. It is a time of modernization where we are in charge of creating our own paths both professionally and personally.

Emily Cisek ’11
Jaime Diglio ’00
Steve Fiore ’96
Mike DiBenedetto ’26
John Scott ’23

What is TEDx?
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx.
TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxBryantU, where x=independently organized TED event. At our TEDxBryantU event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group.
The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
