Abstract	This thesis explores the process of the creation of TEDxOregonStateU, a TEDx event held on the Oregon State campus on February 12, 2015. TED Conferences, created to share “Ideas Worth Spreading”, created the TEDx Program as a platform to allow for individuals to collaborate in the creation of independently organized events. TEDxOregonStateU was created as a platform for Oregon State University to engage with the larger conversations through the theme Disruption. Through the creation of a Student and University Task Force, the event successfully took place hosting five speakers from a variety of backgrounds. Feedback was obtained from a post-event survey; this thesis analyzes the achievements and failures of the event indicated in the survey results. Due to the encouraging response of attendees, TEDxOregonStateU’s success has been measured in this thesis and plans and suggestions for future events are presented here.
