TedXGrandCanyonUniversity,

About the event

A TEDx event meticulously orchestrated by student leaders who are experts in their respective fields, TEDxGrandCanyonUniversity is the largest TEDx event in the state of Arizona, and an experience like no other.

This event aims to unite the broader Phoenix community, serving as a catalyst for individuals to share their innovative ideas worth spreading.

Why should you sponsor?

Sponsoring TEDxGrandCanyonUniversity isn’t like sponsoring a normal college event — it’s a chance to get in front of one of the biggest, most engaged student communities in the country. GCU has more than 25,000 students on campus, plus faculty, alumni, and local professionals who attend our event every year. Brands that partner with us get real visibility, real engagement, and a real connection with a young audience that actually cares about innovation, leadership, and community impact.

TEDxGCU is entirely student-run, but we operate at a professional level. Every sponsor helps us bring world-class speakers to campus and create an experience that people remember long after the event. Sponsorship isn’t just money for us — it directly impacts what students learn, who they get to hear from, and the quality of the event we’re able to produce.

For a company, that means:

• meaningful brand visibility

• access to thousands of young consumers

• showing support for education and future leaders

• opportunities for on-site engagement or product placement

• long-term goodwill with GCU students and the Phoenix community

If a company wants to support innovation, young leaders, and big ideas — this is the event to be part of.
