TEDxSanDiego is more than just an event; it's a platform for inspiration and change. Bringing together a diverse array of individuals—doers, thinkers, innovators, and creatives—TEDxSanDiego seeks to illuminate, inspire, and activate its audience, expanding horizons and fostering new connections that can lead to meaningful change.
In 2024, TEDxSanDiego embraced the theme of "commUNITY," recognizing the importance of unity and collaboration in addressing global challenges. This theme reflects TEDxSanDiego's commitment to not just spreading ideas worth sharing, but also to catalyzing real-world change by activating and connecting inspired people with activities, opportunities, and communities that support positive, impactful action.
Niko Podimatis, the Director of Operations for ItsFarOut, has been an integral part of TEDxSanDiego for the past three years. Niko's interest in TEDxSanDiego stems from his background in public speaking, highlighting his passion for communication and idea-sharing. This year, Niko took on the role of Production Director. From managing technical logistics to coordinating with venue teams and operating slides and imagery, Niko's expertise and dedication were crucial in bringing TEDxSanDiego to life.
Together, TEDxSanDiego and ItsFarOut are not only spreading ideas worth sharing but also empowering individuals to connect, collaborate, and create change within their communities and beyond.
