Sponsorship packages
The TEDxUMontana team hopes to foster a community who believe in the power of “ideas worth
spreading.” By bringing TEDx to the University of Montana, you can play an integral role in creating a
local outlet for some of the most creative, engaging and groundbreaking ideas UM has to offer.
What is TEDxUMontana?
The University of Montana will present its second TEDx event on February 20, 2015 in the Dennison

All talks will be filmed and posted to the TEDx YouTube channel. The most popular videos from
TEDx events have received over 2 million views.
