After much anticipation, TEDxPSU released the complete list of the speakers for its fifth annual conference. The organization revealed individuals weekly beginning in November, including ESPN personality Jemele Hill and Coach James Franklin earlier. Over the past three months, the list has grown to include sixteen speakers.

TEDxPSU’s conference brings individuals from both inside and outside the local community to discuss “ideas worth spreading.” The diverse group of speakers helps to stimulate discussion regarding issues facing our society, as well as new and innovative solutions to these issues. Along with challenging audience members, the talks help to incite change for future. The 2015 theme, Push To Start, centers around “belief in the idea that, as a long as we remember what pushes us, we’ll never fail to start.”

This year’s conference, held on March 1, 2015, will feature speakers from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Schwab Auditorium. For those interested in attending, several VIP packages, as well as free general admission tickets, are still available here. The 2015 conference will also be streamed live on YouTube. After the event, an after party will take place at Levels Nightclub. Push to Start: The After Party will include the executive board, all event attendees and an unannounced musical guest. Tickets to the after party are $15 in advance and $20 on the day of the conference.
