It's actually a bit misleading to describe this year's ENGAGE: Deeply event as our "deepest, most engaging event ever." 

The truth is, we'd like to think that ALL of our events over the last decade have been part of building toward this year's culminating event for our 10th anniversary of operating as a team.

Having a professional coach on board as an ongoing partner is always a benefit to an all-volunteer organization like ours, especially when it's the dynamic and always-practical voice of Marcel Hertzfeldt that's involved. He is our super-hero Chief Operations Officer by night (and many times by day!), and keeps us on track with a smile and sounds words of advice.

Since our earlier events, TEDxCalgary has proudly partnered with the University of Calgary and its vibrant community to extend special offers to our diverse network of graduates, both locally and globally. In 2024, we're thrilled to continue our collaboration at the Visionary Level, offering exclusive discounts to alumni and showcasing a wide array of specially curated experiences from across the university's dynamic landscape.
