TEDxGeorgetown 2018, Ignite, will give 14 speakers an opportunity to answer how they are changing the world on the historic Gaston Hall stage. It will be broken into three different sessions, each highlighting a unique moment of activism in action. There will be four speakers in each session and each TED Talk will last approximately 13-17 minutes. After each session, there will be Breakout Sessions in which the event attendees will have a chance to interact more closely with the speakers they just heard on stage.

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, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. TEDx is a new program that enables local communities such as universities, businesses, libraries, neighborhoods or just groups of friends to organize, design and host their own independent, TED-like events.
