Theme for this year’s conference will center around “DAO 道”, where 6-8 individuals with backgrounds in humanities, education, arts, science, and technology are invited to join as guest speakers to share their ideas and insights on stage with the audience. Through a series of trials and efforts by XJTLU, the TEDxXJTLU license was officially granted by TED in March, 2019, joining a global community of university-branded TEDx programs.
