FAQS

Nope! TEDx TU Dublin is for everyone—whether you're a student, professional, or just someone who loves cool ideas

While we can’t promise personal one-on-one meetings, the speakers will definitely be around during breaks and after the talks. We’re sure you’ll have a chance to connect and chat with them! It’s a great opportunity to network and meet like-minded people.

We recommend arriving a bit early to get settled in and find your perfect spot. Doors open at 3:30 PM, so you’ve got time to grab your seat and get comfortable!

According to TEDx guidelines, questions can't be asked during the talks themselves. However, the speakers will be around during breaks, and you may have the chance to interact with them then.

We understand that some people may have class or work commitments that prevent them from arriving at the opening time. While we don’t see any issue with joining later, please note that there may be staff at the door ensuring people don’t enter or exit during the talks to respect the speakers. We appreciate your understanding and hope you can still join us for the talks you’re interested in!

Yes! The venue is wheelchair accessible, with ramps, elevators, and designated seating areas. However, as we have limited spaces for wheelchair users, we kindly ask you to email us in advance at tedxtudublin@gmail.com to reserve a spot. We’re here to support you and ensure your experience is smooth and comfortable.

There is limited parking available at TU Dublin. We encourage attendees to use public transport or carpool when possible. Please check the university’s website for more details about parking areas.
