Our Theme
TEDxColumbusStateU celebrates the ripple effect — how one idea, one act, or one voice can spark a wave of transformation.
At TEDxColumbusStateU, we believe that every idea—no matter how small—has the power to create waves of transformation. Our mission is to ignite curiosity, spark conversation, and inspire action by showcasing how individual moments, choices, and innovations can generate lasting impact in our communities and beyond.
Through the theme “The Ripple Effect,” we aim to celebrate the thinkers, dreamers, and doers who understand that profound change often begins quietly—with a single spark of inspiration that expands outward, touching lives, shaping systems, and moving the world forward.
TEDxColumbusStateU exists to remind us that greatness is not born from grand gestures alone, but from the courage to take one small step that starts a movement.
