TEDxAstonUniversity: Aston Made

What starts here doesn’t stop here.

For 60 years, Aston has turned ambition into action, transforming lives, shaping industries and creating an impact far beyond the University.

As Aston celebrates its 60th anniversary, TEDxAstonUniversity presents "Aston Made", a special evening celebrating the people, ideas and experiences shaped here and the difference they are making in the wider world.

"Aston Made" is about more than where someone began. It is about what their ideas, experiences and ambitions have gone on to make possible.

Over one inspiring evening, our speakers will share bold ideas, groundbreaking research and powerful personal stories exploring entrepreneurship, resilience, creativity, discovery and transformation. Each talk will reveal how an experience, decision or idea can begin in one place and create an impact far beyond it.

Join us for thought-provoking TEDx talks, meaningful conversations and the opportunity to connect with people who are curious about the world and ambitious about changing it.

Whether you are an Aston student, graduate or staff member, an entrepreneur, a professional, or simply someone who believes in the power of ideas, you are invited to be part of the conversation.
