We’re trapped on this very thin slice of perception … But even at that slice of reality that we call home, we’re not seeing most of what’s going on.
— David Engleman, TED2015

The theme

Building off the mathematical/geometric concept of a Möbius strip, a 2D construct existing in our 3D world, we challenge our community to consider concepts that might be unfamiliar - or uncanny - at first glance.

We gear up for another year of amplifying, discussing, and considering ideas at a one-of-a-kind conference featuring interdisciplinary presenters, speakers, and innovations in the spirit of TEDx, right here on the banks of the Red Cedar.

The Speakers

Our speakers come from a wide variety of backgrounds and inspirations, and thus carry with them contrasting insights. Collectively, they share a commitment to the MSU and Greater Lansing community, and a simultaneous passion for inspiring mindfulness - and challenging the status quo - in the world around them.
