TEDxSpringwood would not be possible without Partners
A majority of TEDx events all over the world are volunteer-led and rely on sponsorship to make the event happen.
TEDxSpringwood's success hinges on support from the community, local businesses and individuals willing to give their time and resources.
​
We thank these organisations for their contribution, support and belief in TED's philosophy that ideas can change everything.
