January 16, 2019 (DAYTON, Ohio) — Organizers of TEDxYouth@Dayton (TXYD) have announced that registration for its 4^th annual event will be available on January 16^th. The event, themed “Formulate,” is scheduled to take place on March 1, 2019 at the Dayton Masonic Center.

“Our partnership with Wright State University was essential to being able to kick off our past 3 events. However, in an effort to make the event more accessible to all of Dayton’s youth, the committee decided to look for a venue more centrally located,” said TXYD chairperson, Rachel Graves, “It’s been great working with the Dayton Masonic Center, and we look forward to another successful collaboration.”

Speakers and performers, 14-19 years old, have been selected through an application and audition process. The TEDxYouth committee sought out unique stories and a diverse range of topics. Speakers for the 2019 event include:

Anna Baugham, Wright State University
Sabrina D’Alesandro, Wright State University
Alex Le, Beavercreek High School
Liberty Endres, The Miami Valley School
Samantha Moore, Miami East High School
Khidirah Jones, Meadowdale High School
Hayden Bullock, Bellbrook High School
Aadesh Chordia, Centerville High School
Emilee Weir, The Dayton Regional STEM School
Sammy Caruso, Oakwood High School
Payton Hunt, Carroll High School

The committee is now looking for youth volunteers to help with audience engagement, stagecraft and social media. Applications for volunteers are available at www.tedxdayton.com/team-2/volunteer-2016/. Registration for attendees will be available on January 15^th at www.tedxdayton.com/tedxyouth-event/.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TED Talks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)

About TED
TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading, usually in the form of short, powerful talks (18 minutes or fewer) delivered by today’s leading thinkers and doers. Many of these talks are given at TED’s annual conference in Vancouver, British Columbia, and made available, free, on TED.com. TED speakers have included Bill Gates, Jane Goodall, Elizabeth Gilbert, Sir Richard Branson, Nandan Nilekani, Philippe Starck, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Sal Khan and Daniel Kahneman.

TED’s open and free initiatives for spreading ideas include TED.com, where new TED Talk videos are posted daily; the TED Translators Program, which provides subtitles and interactive transcripts as well as translations from thousands of volunteers worldwide; the educational initiative TED-Ed; the annual million-dollar TED Prize, which funds exceptional individuals with a “wish,” or idea, to create change in the world; TEDx, which provides licenses to thousands of individuals and groups who host local, self-organized TED-style events around the world; and the TED Fellows program, which selects innovators from around the globe to amplify the impact of their remarkable projects and activities.
